Perhaps stating the obvious, but:

wait - best suggestion so far, seeing as we can't use "stop"

yield - might sound intuitive to a Ruby programmer; but for others  
it's probably not so obvious as "yield" has a number of meanings in  
normal English similar to "give up", "give over" etc

rest - not quite as good as "wait"; machines wait for humans, but the  
never need to rest

timeout - sounds like an error condition, so not really appropriate

Sorry for participating in the painting. Just thought that "wait" was  
good enough to merit some positive feedback.

Cheers,
