I've never gotten Sentry to cause a ship to do anything at all.

The Sentry command tells the ship to "Do nothing", so if your ship did nothing, then it worked exactly the way it was supposed to.
What I use sentry for is to take ships out "out of the loop" for the next ship button. When the empire gets large it's difficult to keep track of everything. So I go through all teh ships using teh next ship button and make sure everybody is doing what I want them to do. Next ship skips over ships that already have orders. Sometimes I want ships to do nothing, like if they are sitting over a training depot, or guarding a warp point. So I give those ships the sentry order so they won't do anything and I don't have to stop on them every time when going through the next ship loop.
Telling a ship to do nothing is not at all the same as not telling the ship to do anything.
