Hello James,

I find that I need to have a job wait for a process to complete on another system. Giving it a full second should do it. And if it doesn't, I can increase the delay.

You can easily use the C-Library sleep call for that:

Keep in mind that hard timers are easiest "synchronization" to program, but the least clever solution. Either the machine is wasting time doing nothing, or the timer runs off too early because for some reason, the wait-for job needs more time — for whatever reason.
