pts_sleep - Pauses for a few seconds
Contents
Cautions
Prior to OpenAFS 1.4.5 and OpenAFS 1.5.23, the ptssleep command was only available on Unix or Linux and
when OpenAFS was compiled with the supergroups option (disabled by default). As of OpenAFS 1.4.5 and
1.5.23, it is always available.

OpenAFS 2025-03-21 PTS_SLEEP(1)
Description
The ptssleep pauses for a specified number of seconds. The command can be run from the command line or
interactively, although from the command line it's essentially equivalent to the sleep command. It is
intended for use in interactive mode to pause for a few seconds between batch commands to allow the
Protection Server to catch up.
Examples
Here is an example of a ptsinteractive session:
% pts interactive
pts> sleep 5
pts> quit

Options
Although they have no effect, ptssleep takes the following standard pts options:
-delay <#ofseconds>
Specifies the amount of time to sleep, in seconds.
-auth
Use the calling user's tokens to communicate with the Protection Server. For more details, see
pts(1).
-cell <cellname>
Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see pts(1).
-config <configdirectory>
Use an alternate config directory. For more details, see pts(1).
-encrypt
Encrypts any communication with the Protection Server. For more details, see pts(1).
-force
Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors or other problems occur,
rather than halting execution at the first error.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. Do not
combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details, see pts(1).
-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more details, see pts(1).
