 In the above example Drone executes the commands on multiple hosts sequentially. If the commands fail on a single host this plugin exits immediatly, and will not run your commands on the remaining hosts in the list.
 
+The above example also uses the `sleep` parameter. The sleep parameter instructs Drone to sleep for N seconds between host executions.

 ## Keys
 
 The plugin authenticates to your server using a per-repository SSH key generated by Drone. You can find the public key in your repository settings in Drone. You will need to copy / paste this key into your `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file on your remote machine.
