Sleep command that emits a countdown timer to stderr

hsleep

hsleep is a tool that will sleep for a given amount of time while displaying a countdown.

Usage

$ hsleep <seconds>

hsleep is a very simple program. It only takes a single argument which is the number of seconds to wait for. While waiting, it will print the number of seconds left to stderr.

So, for instance, to sleep for five seconds:

$ hsleep 5

Uses too much CPU

I might WONTFIX but it seems like hsleep should use a bit less than 45% CPU time.

$ time hsleep 180
