How about,
sleep 10

You've asked for it, posting this question in a Linux mailing list!
Actually, this answer is correct if you install the 'sleep' command from
Cygnus's DOS port of GNU utilities.
And for a more serious reply - try "pause 10". If I remember correctly. But
maybe I'm wrong and I don't have anywhere to check this on...
