Ah, because we've already typed our passwd etc.

Perhaps. All I know is I use Debian sid/experimental.

Anyway, indeed my sleep 11 works as by that time I've already
typed some characters. Confirmed!

(One thing the user should not try is hitting Caps Lock before my 11
seconds are up to try and test things. I got myself stuck in CAPS LOCK
mode, and needed to plug in a USB keyboard to save myself from a cold
reboot, as there is no /bin/STTY command, only stty, and I had not used
getty -U!.)


P.S., I have this in a Makefile I call with emacs M-x compile,
h:some_file
	emacsclient -n --eval '(kill-buffer "Makefile")'
	cd /tmp && nohup > .nohup$$$$emacs emacsclient -n +99999 $?&
	sleep 2 #else left looking at *compilation* buffer if emacs started from .xsession
But it usually doesn't work. I still need to hit ^G anyway
