Not the prettiest of solutions, but it works.  You can create a TSM script
called sleep which uses a clientaction to run the sleep command on an AIX
system.

/* Sleep script */
define clientaction AIXNODENAME action=command -
 objects='sleep "$1"' wait=yes

Then from your other script where you want the pause:
RUN SLEEP 30

The actual sleep time will be a minute or two longer than the parameter,
because it waits for the client action to be scheduled, run, and finish
executing, so there is extra time added in there.

        Subject:        sleep style command in scripts


Is there a command I can use in a TSM server script to provide a sleep or
a wait function?

Thanks
