I need sleep() (on the server side) to
wait for availability on a locked resource ( without loading the CPU
).
If I use an external procedure (dos wait) I am not sure
what is the delay needed to load the DOS interpreter; and I would prefer not to
bind the the solution to an OS. Java can solve all this (provided it is already
loaded) but I was curious to see if somebody found a simpler
way.
I was aware of while action and that
would work just fine; however that means I end up fragmenting a results
page action; I'd rather use <@FOR> if I can make it act as a
while (which can be done in all programming languages that I
know), but I found no way to do that with witango.
I wonder, since there are <@TIMER> and
<@FOR> metatags, why not <@SLEEP> and <@WHILE> as well? They
are obviously closely related and I assume they cannot be that difficult to
implement...
Thank you for all your
suggestions.

Subject: Witango-Talk: Sleep & While
Hello
all,
Can anybody help me out with the Witango
equivalents for:
1- sleep(
milliseconds ); and
2- while( true ) {
}
The solutions
that I found are not acceptable:
1- except
for using externals, if I try to use <@TIMER> it seems I burn the CPU,
which is not what I want;
2- <@FOR> </@FOR> does not really work or I do not know how to setup
Start/Step/Stop
If the solution is
already explained in the documentation I apologize, I just could not find
it.
Thank
you,
Mike
