# The `s6-sleep` program

s6-sleep sleeps for a given time, then optionally executes a program.

## Interface

         s6-sleep [ -m ] time [ prog... ]

- s6-sleep acts as the generic sleep utility. It ignores non-lethal signals.
- If there are prog... arguments, then s6-sleep executes into prog... after sleeping. Else, it exits 0.

## Extra options

- `-m` : Interpret time as milliseconds instead of seconds.

## Posixness

s6-sleep is suitable as a Single Unix sleep program.
