timer 5 DELETE

something like that?

Then you need something like this:

Code:

timer 5 [list delete $args]proc delete {args} {  #do your stuff here    ###  #call timer to repeat execution  timer 5 [list delete $args]}

nml375 already made it clear that a timer will call the procedure only ONCE after n minutes. It is up to you to call the timer again inside your procedure each time it's called.

timer and utimer delays the execution of a command by the time you specify (timer delays n minutes, while utimer delays n seconds).
Neither timer or utimer will repeat the command, bur simply execute it once after the specified delay, and they do not block execution of code while "counting down".

In your case,

Code:

utimer 5 Delete

would cause your script to execute the command Delete after 5 seconds.

Timers (Searching, killing, using time binds).

Either use bind time:

Code:

bind time {?0 * * * *} myprocbind time {?5 * * * *} myprocproc myproc {min hour day month year} {  # do my stuff here}

Or just keep setting a timer:

Code:

timer 5 [list myproc ?proc arguments?]proc myproc {?proc arguments?} {  # do my stuff here  timer 5 [list myproc ?proc arguments?]}

Hope this helps!

Either use a time-binding, or make a call to the timer command from within your proc.
