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! -- .:. /.\ Michael Regoli '|-|` ...ihnp4!inuxc!iuvax!isrnix!mr

* From: mr@isrnix.UUCP ( Michael Regoli ) 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. [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''.... -- (This page accidently left blank.)
