My original question was:
"I have a stay-open application with an idle handler set to be called every "x" seconds. I would like to be able to change the period to another value before the current period ends. I can call the idle hander from another script but it doesn't reset the system's next call."
The consensus answer of this list was "No".
A corollary of this appears to be that there is no way to quit the idle handler before the next cycle. If I tell the app to quit from another script it appears to execute the quit handler but then the system resurrects it like a zombie :( It also seems to me that even executing "quit" from within the idle handler takes until the next cycle to quit.
I hope I am wrong . Comments?
