How do I

Guys,
Corona SDK is great, however, is there any easy way to keep an application written with Corona active in background? Some way to wake it up periodically after it was suspended?
I have one app which does monitor some remote server, it connects on server on a timer. Right now, in order to keep it working, I just disable idle timer and intercept back key, so it will not accidentally enter sleep. I also emulate sort of screensaver so it wont kill the display over time and also it saves some battery. Anyway, is just some work around, as soon as I switch to another application, my monitor enter sleep mode and stops monitoring.
Is there any way to do it proper? [import]uid: 84222 topic_id: 30605 reply_id: 330605[/import]
