Sleep command

[Bastiaan Olij]

Hey Vik,

Nope.. just waiting for some things to finish on a server so
unfortunately sending it a call to start it that finishes it right away,
and then polling it occasionally to see if its done. In this case I have
a need to wait until its done before the user is allowed to do more.

But good tip on the external program thought the downside of that
approach is that Omnis will be unresponsive until the program finishes
(oh the number of users that force quit our application because they
think it has crashed.... )

Cheers,

Bas
