 There might be situations where nodes, once launched, take some time to actually start and we need to wait for the node to start to perform some action.
-We can simulate this using ``launch.actions.TimerAction``. This example shows one way to detect when a node has been launched.
-We delay the launch by 5 seconds, and wait for the node to start with a timeout of 8 seconds.

 It launches a process and asserts that it prints "hello_world" to ``stdout`` using ``proc_output.assertWaitFor()``.
 Finally, it checks if the process exits normally (zero exit code).
