Is it just me or is everyone else running 1.6.15 having trouble with timers?
Code:
timer 2 "display_message"
That should run the procedure display_message every 2 minutes or so i thought.

some feedback would be appreciated.

No, it will call the "display_message" proc once after 2 minutes and stop,
unless inside the "display_message" proc there is another timer call to itself.

for example:

Code:

# make sure we don't spawn more timers upon rehashesif {![info exists timer_set]} {  set timer_set [timer 2 "proc_to_call"]}proc proc_to_call {} {  ... does stuff ...  timer 2 proc_to_call ;# calls itself again in 2 minutes}

on 2 bots i have tried it does the first message fine then kills the timer.

some feedback would be appreciated.
