Need help: os.pullEvent() with Timeout

Hi guys,

I'm currently writing on a server-system and I need an function like os.pullEvent() with a Timeout.

This is nearly working, but it breaks the loop after 1 to 3 seconds:

-- Notice: This is placed in my own API named "gen" so I can call it with gen.pullEvent()

function pullEvent(ExTimeOut, ExEvent)
local ExTimeOut = 3
if ExTimeOut > 1 then
timer = os.startTimer(ExTimeOut)
while true do
  event = {os.pullEvent()}
  if event  then
	if event[1] == ExEvent then
	 break
	end
  else
   break
  end

  if event[1] == "timer" and event[2] == timer then
   event[3] = "timeout!"
   break
  end
end
return event
end
end

Anyone know, how to fix it, or an alternative possibility to make an os.pullEvent with timeout?
