I have a short server command script that changes the reclamation
setting and then immediately resets it back, in order to start a
reclamation process for any tapes that are over the threshold.  
 
When I run the two commands manually, there is enough time between them
to allow a reclamation process to kick off.
 
When I run them as part of a script, they run so quickly that there is
no time for a reclamation process to start before it is reset back to
100.
 
Here are the two lines in the script:
 
update stg tapearchivepool01 recl=87
update stg tapearchivepool01 recl=100

What I need is the equivalent of the sleep command, so that I can delay
a few seconds between the two update commands, something similar to:
 
update stg tapearchivepool01 recl=87
sleep 10
update stg tapearchivepool01 recl=100

Any suggestions?  I want to just have one script do the kickoff as well
as resetting the recl back to 100.  I need to run this at certain times
of the day that I have available drives,   so I thought a server command
script would be appropriate.  If anybody has alternate approaches, I
would also be interested.  The wait=yes option doesn't work for the
update stg command, unfortunately.
 
Thanks in advance for your help.
