Newbie Question - Recommended method of idling?


  • Subject: Newbie Question - Recommended method of idling?
  • From: Simon Brown <email@hidden>

I'm using a very simple handler to repeat a script every 5 minutes
on run
repeat
some stuff
some more stuff
waitabit()
end repeat
end run

on waitabit()
delay 300
end waitabit

It works but doen't do much for the responsiveness of my machine when it is
runnning in the background. Does anyone have any suggestions for a better
method?
