Re: [Online Pubs 0000175]: HTML problem in XCU7 sleep example]

[Don Cragun <dcragun@xxxxxxxxx>]

Scott,
Although it is true that there is a command utility, it is not what
is being used here.  This example is saying that some arbitrary shell
command line should be executed repeatedly with ~37 seconds between
executions.  The HTML version of the standard should match the PDF
version of the standard as shown on page 3181 lines 105968-105972 as
suggested by the bug submitter.

Cheers,
Don
