sleep(int) for c++

Hi
is there a some equivalent method in boost or others which suits c++,
instead of using system ( "sleep 5s" ) to send the system to sleep for
5 seconds.

thanks

Why do you want to put the entire system to sleep?
Do you want to allow background/other tasks to run
in the meantime?

Maybe try the posix 'sleep' or 'usleep' calls.
