;; This package gives you the capability to run Emacs Lisp commands at

;; The single entry point is `run-at-time'.

;;; Code:

It should normally be in the exec-directory.")

(defvar timer-process nil)

  ;; this is useful for functions which will be doing their own erratic

  "If non-nil, don't exit the timer process when no more events are pending.")

(defun run-at-time (time repeat function &rest args)
  "Run a function at a time, and optionally on a regular interval.
Arguments are TIME, REPEAT, FUNCTION &rest ARGS.
TIME, a string, can be specified absolutely or relative to now.
TIME can also be an integer, a number of seconds.
REPEAT, an integer number of seconds, is the interval on which to repeat
the call to the function.  If REPEAT is nil or 0, call it just once.

Absolute times may be specified in a wide variety of formats;
Something of the form `HOUR:MIN:SEC TIMEZONE MONTH/DAY/YEAR', where
all fields are numbers, works; the format used by the Unix `date'
command works too.

Relative times may be specified as a series of numbers followed by units:
  1 min         	denotes one minute from now.
  min			does too.
  1 min 5 sec		denotes 65 seconds from now.
  1 min 2 sec 3 hour 4 day 5 week 6 fortnight 7 month 8 year
			denotes the sum of all the given durations from now."
