<cfscript>
function sleep(timeMillis) {
var thread = createObject("java", "java.lang.Thread");
thread.sleep(timeMillis);
}
</cfscript>
This was from Robert Everland III a few posts back: (Multiple CFMail
Problem). I included the original post below.
--------------------------------------------------
The only problem with that is that for as long as you want cf to sleep it
will loop and loop and loop and loop and loop and loop. It would be like
telling a taxi driver to drive for 5 minutes while you get your bags instead
of telling him to shut off the car to conserve gas. Here is a UDF I found
that uses a java com object to sleep. Works beautifully.
<cfscript>
function sleep(timeMillis) {
var thread = createObject("java", "java.lang.Thread");
thread.sleep(timeMillis);
}
</cfscript>
