waiting script

How can I write a linux script that will execute a command after say 5 seconds...

Example: After 5 seconds the command init6 is executed?

Thanks

Say I've got a scrript one.sh and two.sh, I want "one.sh" to be terminated after 10 seconds and script "two.sh" must carry on, is this possible?

Thanks
