Sleep

This System tool pauses a handler's execution for a specific number of seconds.

Inputs

Time to Sleep (seconds)

The number of seconds to pause the handler before continuing. Setting this value to 0 results in this handler thread giving up its timeslice so that NT executes other tasks that are waiting for CPU time.

Since this parameter accepts only integer values, decimal values are not allowed. To indicate a partial second, you can specify a negative value. Any negative values are interpreted as milliseconds (for example, -1500 is interpreted as 1.5 seconds and -3500 resolves to 3.5 seconds).

Caution: Setting large Time to Sleep values can cause handler threads to accumulate in Interaction Processor. We recommend that you use the Timer initiator.
