If my perl script has a sleep for say 300 seconds, when the sleep is
being run is there any way i can find the time remaining in the sleep
say by sending a signal?
Thanks,
Not directly. You have to record the time before the sleep and then you
can measure how long the sleep lasted.
my $started_sleep = time;
sleep 300;
my $time_asleep = time - $started_sleep;
Or just:
my $time_asleep = sleep 300;
