How does "crt.Sleep" work?

How does "crt.Sleep" work? What triggers it?

It seems things in the script do not happen in the order that I put them ... into the script.

I want to ...

- Stop the current log file. Call this the "first log file."

- Start a "second log file" and save it in a different location.

- Run three commands and log the output into the "second log file" log file.

- Loop the third command until I stop it manually, logging the output into the "second log file."

- Stop the "second log file" log file.

- Then start a "thrid log file" (or continue the first one).

I put the "sleep" command *_AFTER_* three "show commands." But ... The script pauses after the first two "show commands," then it runs the third command.

Why does it pause after the "sh clock" command?

Why doesn't the "sleep" command pause **_AFTER_** the third command runs?

Also ...

When I stop the "second log file," ... some of the "show commands" get put into the 3rd log file.

Why don't the "sh clock" (and other commands) go into the "second log file" log file? Why do they end up in the 3rd log file?

The 3rd log file is started *_AFTER_* all the "sh commands" have been run.
