Does sleep not work?
Try man sleep

For other commands I think you have to start coding.
sleep is just the command to do something like this.
And this aint a joke command.
If Id said "rm -rf /" it was a joke command (That destorys your root dir)

When you say 'slow down' do you mean that you want one command to have priority over another? If so then the 'nice' command might help you. If you 'renice' a process then can reduce its priorities. Sleep will pause a process for a given amount of time.

man nice
man renice

try nice command

[jeffrey_seeNJ]

nice? you mean nice[2] ??? or ??

try nice command

The [2] only assigns it category...
If you use nice you say that a process has more rights then the other processes.

#!/bin/bash
#code.h

Why nt help me solve this...why doesn't it work?



curl --proxy proxy.tp.edu.sg:80 "www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/index.htm " > 1.txt :



grepheader=$header:

lines1=${2:-3}:

lines2=${2:-1}:

sub=$'s/<[^<>]*>//g':


cat 1.txt | grep $grepheader | head -$lines1 | sed $sub | tail -$lines2 > data.txt:





exit

do it like this

curl --proxy proxy.tp.edu.sg:80 "www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/index.htm " > temp
grepheader=$header
lines1=${2:-3}
lines2=${2:-1}
sub=$'s/<[^<>]*>//g'
cat temp & grep $grepheader & head -$lines1 & sed $sub & tail -$lines2 > output

Now you get a file called output. That should just work.
Since now they wait for eachother before they are done.. (I removed the : )
