This is pretty dopey especially since I've used this dozens of times
in the past.
I can not remember how to make a script wait for a few seconds during
execution. Its something really simple like.
smcmd 3
Where smcmd is something like set, sit, bla etc.
and the number is number of seconds to wait.
Trying both set and sit here I get an error from sit and no pause from
set. (Using ksh)
