RE: How to sleep in Eiffel?

David,

One way of doing this is to use Eiffel's "system" feature to call the
sleep command of the underlying OS - see class EXECUTION_ENVIRONMENT,
feature system.

Unix example:

system ("sleep 30") -- sleep 30 seconds

Subject: [eiffel_software] How to sleep in Eiffel?

Hi all,

Sorry to both the list with what is probably a trivial question, but I
have not been able to find an answer through on-line searching:

How does one "sleep" in Eiffel, i.e. go to sleep for a number of
seconds (or better, microseconds)?

Thanks,

David
