Rem sleep 17100
Rem (Rapid eye movement) is the stage of sleep characterized by rapid movements of the eyes, and 17100 is about the number of seconds it took for me to be through all of the stages of sleep and stumbling for the coffee pot. Of course if I were scripting, then the statement "Rem sleep 17100" would have done nothing for me.
rem - sets a remark in batch scripts
The Windows 2003 Resource Kit provides a 'sleep' command and many more needed commands if you are going to use batch files to manage systems.
sleep - will wait for a specific amount of time before the script continues.
sleep N
Replace N with the number of seconds for batch file to 'sleep'.
If I used this blog post title in my script, I would have remarked out the sleep command and would be very tired right now. Fortunately for me, sleep and rem were accomplished.
I also learned that according to wikipedia "People who regularly sleep between 4 and 7 hours live longer than people sleeping more or less than this, with serious differences between life span when people sleep less than four hours or more than 9."
