Straight outta the pickaxe (with comments from me),
does this work?
(http://www.rubycentral.com/book/lib_standard.html)
require "timeout"
for snooze in 1..2
puts "About to sleep for #{snooze}"
timeout(1.5) do
sleep(snooze)
#ie.goto(http://foo.com)
end
puts "That was refreshing"
#puts "went to foo.com in less than 1.5 seconds)
end
produces:
About to sleep for 1
That was refreshing
About to sleep for 2

The
timeout method takes a single parameter, representing
a timeout period in seconds, and a block. The block is executed, and
a timer is run concurrently. If the block terminates before the
timeout,
timeout returns
true. Otherwise, a
TimeoutError exception is raised.
