Tmsh: problem moving two files to the Sandbox (from an iApp)

Hello all, While I was developing an iApp, I needed to move two different files from a linux folder (/var/tmp) to the APM's sandbox. This can be done using the TMSH 'modify' command, here an example:...
devops
iApps
TMSH

    I see the issue now. I filed it as a product bug. Here is a workaround that calls a script from within the iapp and uses a time delay to solve the timestamp issue. 

    set fh [open my_script w]
puts $fh "
tmsh modify apm resource sandbox hosted-content { files add {\
   foo1.xml { folder /test local-path /var/tmp/bar1.xml }}}
sleep 1
tmsh modify apm resource sandbox hosted-content { files add {\
   foo2.xml { folder /test local-path /var/tmp/bar2.xml }}}
"
close $fh
exec bash my_script

Hello again Fred, You were completely right! I have tested your solution and it works perfectly well. I had tried using a sleep or after command, but it had no effect as it was not executed as a script apart form the iApp (it was only delaying the iApp final execution). Thank you very much for your help and the suggested workaround!
