sleep

Im looking for a way to insert a pause of few seconds between the calls of two gradle tasks. I can use firstTask.doLast { ..... } something like which can do Linux/Unix sleep 45 Any ideas? First, I'd try to find a better solution than waiting for so long every time. Anyway, to delay the first task for 45 seconds, you can do: firstTask.doLast { sleep(45 * 1000) } A good way to familiarize yourself with Groovy's core APIs is to study the Groovy JDK (also known as GDK). It's also a handy reference. If you want to run integration tests in Tomcat, then simply use the Gradle Tomcat Plugin like this:

I have a little Bash script which suspends the computer after a given number of minutes. However, I'd like to extend it to tell me what the time will be when it will be suspended, so I can get a rough idea of how long time I have left so to speak. #!/bin/sh let SECS=$1*60 echo "Sleeping for" $1 "minutes, which is" $SECS "seconds." sleep $SECS && pm-suspend The only argument to the script will be how many minutes from now the computer should be suspended. All I want to add to this script is basically an echo saying e.g. "Sleeping until HH:nn:ss!". Any ideas? Found out how. echo "The computer

Could you please tell me how do I go about pausing my program for 500 milliseconds and then continue? I read Thread.Sleep(500) is not good as it holds up the GUI thread. Using a timer it fires a callback ... I just want to wait 500ms and then continue to the next statement. Please advise. EDIT: I need to display a status bar message for 500ms and then update the message with a different one. Sorry, I meant 500 not 50. EDIT: I do understand what all you have said. but: [I just want to wait 500ms and then continue to the next statement.] I think because it is such a short interval i am going do

When including the sleep function from unistd.h the program hangs indefinitely: #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> int main() { int i; printf("0 "); for(i = 1; i <20; ++i) { sleep(2); printf("%d ", i); } printf("\n"); return 0; } The rest runs fine when sleep(2) is commented out, any ideas? There's nothing wrong with the code, but note that in many cases the output of printf is buffered, meaning that the output appears on the console only if you explicitly call fflush(stdout) , you print a newline, or the buffer becomes full. Since you don't print a newline until the very end, you will see

I want to tell my Python threads to yield, and so avoid hogging the CPU unnecessarily. In Java, you could do that using the Thread.yield() function. I don't think there is something similar in Python, so I have been using time.sleep(t) where t = 0.00001 . For t=0 there seems to be no effect. I think that maybe there is something I am not understanding correctly about Python's threading model, and hence the reason for the missing thread.yield() . Can someone clarify this to me? Thanks! PS: This is what the documentation for Java's Thread.yield() says: Causes the currently executing thread

Apparently, sleep or wait_until are not valid using recent versions of Capybara, according to the webpage updates . However, I have a set of tests that only work on fast machines if I add a sleep(1) call to the test. That is, a test that looks like: describe "dosimeters page" do before do click_link("Dosimeter Read History", :match=>:first) end ... becomes describe "dosimeters page" do before do unix_wait click_link("Dosimeter Read History", :match=>:first) end ... where I've defined unix_wait as: def unix_wait case RbConfig::CONFIG['host_os'] when /darwin/ when /linux-gnu/ sleep(1) end end
