Re: sleep args

2006-06-19 Thread Dan Jacobson
OK, but document all this with examples on the info AND man pages, something in the usage message too. Yes, I now see the "...", but without an explanation, one cannot assume that args are added... And mention what is a GNU extension, and what is portable.
