I am in the middle of writing a script that will check an
object in an application for changes. I don't want to badger
the application for this information constantly, though, just
once in a while, perhaps every 5 minutes.
What ways are available to make a script pause for a length of time before continuing on?
There are a couple of ways depending on what you are trying to
accomplish. Given your stated reason, best method is probably a
"stay open" script with an "on idle" handler.
