in reply to timer in perl

Hello Anonymous Monk,

Fellow Monks have already provided you with ideas, but since we do not have a complete idea on what you are trying to do maybe you are looking for something like that Re^3: script should wait for another script to complete?

From my point of you, I think that you are looking to execute a process first and then run the remaining commands. You do not need to wait for an arbitrary time, just keep track of when the command / process / script is finished and then execute the rest. On the sample of the link above you can do that.

Hope this helps, BR.
