`sleep' is probably what you're looking for, although the developer image doesn't include it. You'd either have to build your own binary or snarf a copy from the Debian ARM distribution (or bug someone else to send it to you :-)

need it to be for the buffers, but the only way I have found is to recompile the kernel. Not fun if you plan on releasing something that depends on a modification to the kernel.
Not sure about this one... I haven't played with RAM disks very much.
You're tackling an interesting problem. There are plenty of reasons to want writeable filesystems, but the possibility of power loss at any moment is a concern. I think I like the RAM disk solution, although RAM on the empeg is in pretty limited supply.
