Libreoffice plugin. Script to launch Zotero

rbraicovich

I frequently try to insert a citation in libreoffice without remembering to first launch zotero, which returns the obvious error message.
I made the following bash script:
______________________________
#! /bin/bash
SERVICE=zotero ;
if ps ax | grep -v grep | grep $SERVICE ;
then echo "already running" ;
else /home/darwin/Zotero_linux-x86_64/run-zotero.sh ;
fi
______________________________

I run it by appending:
Shell ("bash /home/darwin/zottt.sh")
in the "Add Citation macro"

The only problem is that the first time I run the macro, I still get the error message, since Zotero takes a couple of seconds to launch.
I can then click ok to the error message and run the macro again, but I would like to polish it.
In a nutshell:
what is the equivalent of the bash SLEEP command in libreoffice's Visual Basic?

Thanks in advance and congratulations on your ever more precise and useful work.
