Publisher sleep forever using roslaunch

When I ran a simple publisher in the tutorial ( http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/Wri... ). I got a problem that if I ran it through launch file, the node will sleep forever. But if I ran it through rosrun [packagename] talker, it works fine. My launch file looks like this, can anyone help me?

<master auto="start"/>

<param name="use_sim_time" value="true"/>

<node pkg="hybridAstar" type="talker" name="talker" output="screen"/>

</launch>

The problem is

<param name="use_sim_time" value="true"/>

This means the uses simulation time published to /clock topic by e. g. Gazebo or a rosbag started by rosbag play --clock file.bag.

See this http://wiki.ros.org/Clock ans this http://answers.ros.org/question/19382... for info about clock and simulation time

This means your node will not spin before any other node (gazebo/rosbag) is started and publishes to /clock topic
