I have a shell script and want a uninterruptable sleep. /usr/bin/sleep

uninterruptable?
trap "echo 'Ctrl+C should not work'" INT
now=`date +%s`
expires=$(( $now + 10 ))
while test $now -lt $expires; do
sleep $(( $expires - $now ))
now=`date +%s`
done
excellent! take system time and loop sleep until time is over.
Thanks,
Sascha.
