I was wondering if there is a statement which I can use to have a program sleep indefinitely (probably using sleep function??). (I am obviously doing this waiting for a signal that is going to be delivered at some time to this process and it will wake it up)
Linux command — `$ sleep infinity` is for forever sleeping ( never awake until escape )
How to Use the Bash Sleep Command. Sleep is a very versatile command with a very simple syntax. It is as easy as typing sleep N . This will pause your script for N seconds, with N being either a positive integer or a floating point number.
You want pause().
EDIT: The most likely circumstances under which you might want to use pause()
will actually cause a race condition, so prefer sigsuspend()
.
On Unix, see either pause
or sigsuspend
.
And on Windows use Sleep(INFINITE)
