sleep-ms

Sleep MS is a command-line tool that emulates BASH SLEEP command using NodeJS with the propose to work fine in any operating system.

Why sleep-ms?

First and foremost, it provides the ability to stall execution in milliseconds. SLEEP command supports seconds only (unless you install bash with loadable sleep). Secondly, a number of CI platforms do not support sleep within scripts, but if you are on NodeJS stack, you can easily utilise this module to overcome this limitation.

Installing sleep-ms

npm install sleep-ms --save;

Using CLI

# sleep for 1 second
sleepms 1000;

It is recommended that you do a global install using npm install sleep-ms -g;
