How can I make a function execute every X seconds? #12

How can I make a function execute every X seconds? Something equivalent to setInterval and setTimeout in Javascript!

Hi,

http://pike.lysator.liu.se/generated/manual/modref/ex/predef_3A_3A/call_out.html is your friend here. Do note that it will run the callback from the backend, so you need to return -1 from your main() to start the backend or it will not work.
