Check out the Boost.Thread library.  You can use the static function 
boost::thread::sleep to tell the current thread to sleep.

Check out the Boost.Filesystem library.  Specifically, you probably want to 
look at boost::filesystem::initial_path or boost::filesystem::current_path.

> 3. get current system time;

Check out the Boost.Date_Time library.  You can construct a 
boost::posix_time::ptime object from 
boost::posix_time::second_clock::local_time

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/doc/html/date_time/posix_time.html#ptime_from_clock

> 4. get file separator or directory separator;

Check out the Boost.Filesystem library.  You can use boost::filesystem::path 
and many related utility functions to portably compose and decompose paths.  
Additionally, you can retrieve the path string in a portable or 
system-specific format.
