'''NAME'''

: ns_after - Execute a command after a time delay

'''SYNOPSIS'''

: '''ns_after''' ''seconds script''

'''DESCRIPTION'''

: This command executes a script in the background after a number of seconds time delay.  It does this by scheduling a one-shot event in the scheduler.  Uncaught script errors will go to the server log.  It returns an ID which can be used to unschedule the execution of the script (if ''seconds'' hasn't elapsed) using [[ns_unschedule_proc]].

: The script when executed will run in the scheduler thread.  If the script is long-running, this may interfere with the execution of other scheduled scripts, in which case [[ns_schedule_proc]] should be used instead of '''ns_after'''.

'''EXAMPLES'''

    % ns_after 5 { ns_log notice "ns_after script executed" }
    123
