Other than writing one myself, is there a command i can use in a script,
to pause executation for a minute.

what i am trying to do is...

usernetctl ppp1 up

# command to wait 'till the connection is made

ftp -n < blah

usernetctl ppp1 down

or is there a better/wiser way to do this....

cheers

gerard
