    This document provides an exercise to create a script called "sleep-walking" that accepts "start" and "stop" arguments. If any other argument is passed, it should display a usage statement and exit with a status of 1. To start the "sleep-walking-server", the script should run a provided command. To stop it, it should run a kill command targeting the server's process ID stored in a PID file.
