title: How do I schedule a timed reboot of my server in seconds?
body: <p>I’m using bash shell on Linux …</p>

  <p>although it would be nice if I could come up with a solution in any bash supported environment.  My question is, in my script I want to scheduled a delayed reboot of my server in 5 seconds.  So far, I have the below, but it takes 60 seconds …</p>
  
  <pre><code># Timed reboot of server
  sudo shutdown -r 1
  
  # Fail if any of the sub-deployments failed.
  if [[ ( $PROC1_STATUS -ne 0 ) ||
        ( $PROC2_STATUS -ne 0 ) ||
        ( $PROC3_STATUS -ne 0 ) ]]
  then
          exit 1;
  fi
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how I can adjust the above except make the timed reboot in 5 seconds instead of a minute?  The solution doesn't have to use "shutdown" but it was the only tool I could find.</p>
