Pause(1);

Pause(1);

I'm using scheduler to invoke an interaction via http post with an external service. The schedule code uses a for-each loop that runs so fast my external application's log files get messed-up (they are named by date-time stamp). What I'm suggesting is a new function that only works in the scheduler's code called Pause. I'd like to pause the for-each loop by 1 second for each iteration. To prevent users from abusing such a feature, the maximum pause can be 25 seconds (Why 25? ZC's time-out for http posts is 30 seconds, so this gives a 5 second cushion).

Until then, I'm going to change my long file naming to cope.

Thanks,
