Describe the enhancement
Bash script run-helper.sh.template contains implementation of safe_sleep function. However, this function is not used in all bash scripts: there are a couple of places where the standard sleep function is used. It would be good to adjust the safe_sleep function so that it receives one parameter (sleep time in seconds) just like the standard sleep function, and then use it wherever necessary.

Additional information
Script that uses standard sleep function isupdate.sh.template.
