  to be used with the <a href="parallel.html">parallel</a> task to 
  synchronize a set of processes.</p>
<p>The conditions to wait for are defined in <a href="waitfor.html#nested">nested elements</a>, if multiple conditions 
  are specified, then the task will wait until all conditions are true..</p>
<p></p>
<p>The time attributes (maxwait and checkevery) are specified in milliseconds 
  unless the values are followed by one of the following suffixes: &quot;ms&quot;, 
  &quot;s&quot;, &quot;m&quot;, &quot;h&quot; which cause the value to be interpreted 
  as milliseconds, seconds, minutes or hours.</p>

<h3><a name="nested">Nested Elements</a></h3>

<p>The available conditions that satisfy the
<code>&lt;waitfor&gt;</code> task are the same as those for the

<a href="conditions.html">here</a> for the full list.</p>

<h3>Examples</h3>
<blockquote> 
  <p><code>&lt;waitfor maxwait=&quot;30s&quot;&gt;<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;available file="errors.log"/&gt;<br>
    &lt;/waitfor&gt;</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>waits up to 30 seconds for a file called errors.log to appear.</p>
<blockquote>
  <p><code>&lt;waitfor maxwait=&quot;3m&quot; checkevery=&quot;500ms&quot;&gt;<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;http url=&quot;http://localhost/myapp/index.html&quot;/&gt;<br>
    &lt;/waitfor&gt;</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>waits up to 3 minutes (and checks every 500mS) for a web server on localhost

    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;and&gt;<br>
