The "rand()" function in 'awk' returns a floating point value between
0 and 1 (i.e. [0, 1]). So it's possible to have sleep for some cases go
upto ~5.1 seconds. So if the intention is to sleep between 0.1 and 5 
seconds precisely then we may want to use,
 
sleep(0.1 + 4.9 * rand());

However this is not a major problem and we may ignore. 
Otherwise, code looks good to me.
