Sleep MS is a command-line tool that emulates BASH SLEEP command using NodeJS with the propose to work fine in any operating system.
First and foremost, it provides the ability to stall execution in milliseconds. SLEEP command supports seconds only (unless you install bash with loadable sleep). Secondly, a number of CI platforms do not support sleep within scripts, but if you are on NodeJS stack, you can easily utilise this module to overcome this limitation.
npm install sleep-ms --save;
# sleep for 1 second
sleepms 1000;
It is recommended that you do a global install using
npm install sleep-ms -g;
The JS api was deprecated in the latest release.
