Hello Every one,

I have a shell script which in one stage o its run sleeps for defined time
period (which is hard coded).
I want the script to sleep and continue after the sleep time, but if a key
on the key board is pressed it should come out of the sleep and continue
before it completes the sleep cycle.
Any pointers
TIA
