Waiting A Few Seconds Before Getting A Value From A Proc

Really, the best way to do a timer is to make a proc for it, not try to put a bunch of code in the timer command itself. So do something like this:

proc my_timer_func {} {
putlog [isxalive]
... other stuff if necessary ...
return 0
}

Then to call it, simply:

utimer 10 my_timer_func

The other way would be to do something like

utimer 10 {putlog [isxalive]}

But that's not as nice.

Yet another option is to modify the isxalive proc and add a putlog at the end to print out the value, and then your timer call would simply be

utimer 10 isxalive

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean that you want to call Is:X:Alive and then print the return value 10 seconds later? Or, you want to wait 10 seconds, then call Is:X:Alive and print the return value right away? Or...?

I want the second one!!! I want to want to wait 10 seconds, then call Is:X:Alive and print the return value right away.

Waiting A Few Seconds Before Getting A Value From A Proc

2004-02-23T08:56:50-04:00

Hey Guys.
Im Stuck again.

I have a timer in a proc.

Code:

utimer 10 "putlog {[Is:X:Alive]}"

Everything is ok. What i mean is that the [Is:X:Alive] Gets the return from that proc. But what i want is to wait 10 seconds BEFORE it captures the return from the [Is:X:Alive] proc and not immediatelly.

Can you help?

Thanks
