[NSE] Yielding to other threads?

[Ron <ron () skullsecurity net>]

Hi all,

In a NSE script, is it possible to yield to another thread if I'm doing 
something that I know will take awhile?

I'd like to do something that I know will take at least 5 seconds to 
respond. But instead of waiting on a socket that I know is going to time 
out, is there some way I can sleep for 5 seconds then come back?

Is any of that possible/simple?

Ron
