Timer Question -Pause /Wait

[Patrick GH]

I have a CF process where I click a submit button.

Then I need the process to wait/pause for 30 seconds and then run another check.

If the check is no the process ends.

If the check is yes then i need the process to wait for 10 more seconds and then run the checks again.

What is a good way to do this to get the processes to wait the 30 seconds and then the 10 seconds?

Do you need the user to wait for this process or is it done "behind the scenes"? 

If the user has to wait, you'll need some Javascript to build a user interface.

If behind the scenes, your can use the sleep() function

For instance, to wait for 30 secs: #sleep(30000)#

Just an add-on thought, even if the sleep happens "behind the scenes," you'll want to visually show the user a notification or spinner-type object that lets them know that something actually IS happening -- otherwise there will probably be multiple followup clicks by the user when they don't see anything happening onscreen.

Yes, my thinking, too, but I didn't articulate it as well as this

Here is what happens

User clikcs submit and then is redirected to another page

Once they click submit a 30 second wait /pause should start in the background.

After 30 seconds a check is made
