Perhaps I'm missing the context of the discussion, but does the .sleep directive work?

Of course this just halts things for a specific length of time from what I can tell.  What you probably really want is for 
the LiveUpdate to finish.  If you had a way to tell that the live update was completed, you could write a script that would 
sleep for a period of time, check to see if the update was done, and if the live update was not complete it would then push 
itself back on the stack.

Since I don't use that particular piece of software, I don't know how to tell that Live Update is complete.  Is there is 
registry entry?  If so, you could probably write some script in Perl to check.
