We already have the sleep command which waits until CTRL+C is pressed or a time interval has elapsed.

Why does that command not satisfy the use case?

The command name continue is used in other languages for control structures. We should not use it for pausing.

We should not put a new command into an existing C module without good reason.

Best regards
