Is it possible to time the execution of
a defined keyboard macro? I would like
to have a macro execute at regular
intervals of say, 30 seconds.
Many thanks for your advice!

[Assuming Gosling Emacs]
Well, you could do something like
(defun wait-30 (sit-for 300))
and bind that to a key, but I suspect that's not what you mean. If you
mean you want something to fire up spontaneously every N seconds, well,
one possibility (if you have subprocesses defined) would be to have a
short program or shell script that generates output every N seconds,
and invoke the desired function as an output filter for the process.
Kind of like ``time''....
