What it does is has your ships sit there until an enemy ship enters the system. At that point the Sentry order is cleared.
There are two toggles in (F11) Status/Empire Options that control this; you can set it to never clear orders, only clear on contact with enemies, or clear on any contact.

Besides the word sentry is to patroll and engage isnt it?.
No, "sentry" only means "guard"; it also tends to imply staying at a fixed post, not patrolling.

Cap'n Q
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
