Purpose
* {{kbd | key=<nowiki>%RANDOM%</nowiki>}} returns an integer between 0 and 32767.
* Sleep random seconds between 5 ~ 60 seconds
* 60 is the range of values you want: 0 to 60.
* 32768 is the range of values returned by {{kbd | key=<nowiki>%RANDOM%</nowiki>}} (0 to 32767).
* 5 is the minimum value you want. The original range of values you want '0 to 60' became '5 ~ 65'.
* ping local address<ref>[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/735285/how-to-wait-in-a-batch-script windows xp - How to wait in a batch script? - Stack Overflow]</ref>

=== BASH example: download file and sleep random seconds between 1 ~ 7 seconds ===
The following script checks if a specific file exists in a defined path. If the file doesn't exist, it downloads the file from a provided URL and then pauses for a random duration between 1 and 7 seconds. If the file already exists, it simply prints a message stating that the file was found and the download was skipped.
<pre>
if [ ! -f /path/to/paper.pdf ]
then
    curl "https://website/to/pdf" -L -o /path/to/paper.pdf
    sleep $((1 + RANDOM % 7))
else
    echo "File found. Download skipped."
fi
</pre>
The same command can be written on one line:
<pre>
if [ ! -f /path/to/paper.pdf ]; then curl "https://website/to/pdf" -L -o /path/to/paper.pdf; sleep $((1 + RANDOM % 7)); else echo "File found. Download skipped."; fi
</pre>
