local runtime = require("runtime")

local command = "sleep 1"
if runtime.goos() == "windows" then command = "timeout 1" end

local result, err = cmd.exec(command)
if err then error(err) end
if not(result.status == 0) then error("status") end

local cmd = require("cmd")
local runtime = require("runtime")

local command = "sleep 5"
if runtime.goos() == "windows" then command = "timeout 1" end

local result, err = cmd.exec(command, 1)
if err then error(err) end
if not(result.status == 0) then error("status") end
