I have a function that interfaces with a telephony program, and calls people. I want to know, is there a method that I can use to call folks for a certain amount of time?
I'd like to run a loop like:
while(flag = 0){
call(people);
if(<ten minutes have passed>){
flag = 1;
}
}
Any help would be appreciated.
You probably want the setTimeout()
function.
Something like this should work (untested):
var keepCalling = true;
setTimeout(function () {
keepCalling = false;
}, 60000);
while (keepCalling) {
callPeople();
}
An alternative method if you're having problems with setTimeout():
var startTime = Date.now();
while ((Date.now() - startTime) < 60000) {
callPeople();
}
