How can I use the task module to schedule the execution of another script in 5 minutes from now? and also I want to pass an id as a parameter to that second script

N/task

module in SuiteScript. However, please note that NetSuite's built-in scheduled script functionality is primarily designed for predefined schedules and recurring tasks, and it may not be suitable for precise time-based delays. Here is a workaround that you can consider: 1. Create a custom record with a timestamp field. 2. After your first script completes execution, set the timestamp field in the custom record to be 5 minutes from the current date/time. 3. Attach a User Event script to the custom record. In the Before Load event, check if the current date/time is greater than or equal to the timestamp field in the custom record. 4. If true, then execute your second script. Here is a sample code snippet for creating a scheduled script task:

javascript
var scriptTask = task.create({
    taskType: task.TaskType.SCHEDULED_SCRIPT,
    scriptId: 'customscript_script_b_id', // Replace with the ID of your second script
    deploymentId: 'customdeploy1', // Replace with the ID of your script's deployment
    params: {custscript_id: 'your_id'} // Replace 'your_id' with the actual id you want to pass
});
scriptTask.submit();

Please replace

'customscript_script_b_id'

with the ID of your second script,

'customdeploy1'

with the ID of your script's deployment, and

'your_id'

with the actual id you want to pass. Remember, this is just a workaround and may not be the best practice to follow. The execution of the second script may not be exactly 5 minutes after the first script due to various factors such as script queue, system performance, etc.
