I'd like to have the launch action "Wait for x seconds" advanced option to be extended to allow for actions that can take days to finish. Currently it can only go up to 99 seconds. The situation I have is for a bundle that launches a script that performs file synchronization that could run for days on servers with slow links. The timeout value would need to be able to accommodate such a large time frame. After the timeout was exceeded, I would use the terminate sub-option to cancel the action and end the file sync session.

On my installs, I cannot specify a wait timeout longer than 60 seconds.
FWIW, you can spawn your long-running process into the background and use the next action to run a script-based wait-and-check loop killing the background process after the maximum wait time has exceeded.
