Heya Palyne! Are you talking about synchonous waiting, e.g. the app performs some
action, waits a specified number of time intervals, then performs the next action? If
so, this would be pretty simple to implement inline code using CF's current date/time
functions and looping. You could make an include file out of something like:
NOTE: this is *NOT* tested... FOR CONCEPT ONLY!!!
<cfparam name="wait_datepart" default="s">
<cfparam name="wait_interval" default="0">
<cfscript>
wait_newdate = DateAdd(wait_datepart, wait_interval, Now());
while (Now() LT wait_newdate) {
//why do anything? =-)
}
</cfscript>
You would set the values for wait_datepart and wait_interval just before including the
file.
Any particular reason you'd like to do this? :-\
