I ran into the same thing for my lab logging scripts. Instead of
using the windows sleep command I wrote an 'alarm' command:

http://www.leapsecond.com/tools/alarm.c
http://www.leapsecond.com/tools/alarm.exe

I use this to periodically snapshot log files, generate plots, and
then upload to: http://www.leapsecond.com/lab/lab.htm

The code should compile on unix systems as well.
