The only way I've known how to do it is by having aliases called within each one. The problem is I need to call /msg or /describe from outwith this, but because of the socks it takes time before it works.
I need some way to call an alias, but then not call the next until the first has completed.

Can anyone tell me if theres any way to do this?


The way I would approach this is add a timer to the next event of x amount of seconds like this

alias myscript {
/blah
/blah
./timer 1 2 /newblah
./timer 1 3 /blah
}

etc..

by calling the next timer 1 time for 2 seconds it should allow enough time then the next timer should follow by an extra second.
