Delay Command for Terminal?

[domenator]

Hi all, so, I've been pranking my brother by SSH-ing into his computer and making the mac talk to him using:
osascript -e 'say "Hello Chris I am watching you!" using "Cellos"'
it totally freaks him out, only problem is he is getting wise to me and is certain that I always happen to be at my computer when this happens to him. What I'm asking is there any command that I'm missing that puts a delay on this script, i.e. entering this script with a delay command and having it launch 5 minutes later where I can be happily watching TV? I appreciate any and all feedback.

Look at the sleep command...

Thank you very much. I was using the delay command that is found in the pure applescript rather than the sleep for terminal. I have already implemented and lol'd quite a bit as my brother goes "oh wow sorry dude, I didn't mean to blame you"

Just schedule the script to run at certain times with crontab

You could even be asleep

You should do:

osascript -e "tell application \"SystemUIServer\"" -e "tell application \"System Events\" to set x to name of startup disk" -e "display dialog \"Are you sure you want to format drive \" & x & \"?\" buttons {\"Yes\",\"Ok\"} default button 2 with icon caution" -e "end tell"

while you're at it.
