running one gnus in offline and periodically fetch mail with agent

[Alexander Kotelnikov]

Yet another question.

Does anyone use such practice, is there any problems (say, can you
really run two gnuses concurrently?). Once upon a time I used

(defun gnus-agent-batch-cycle()
  "Periodically retrieve/send mail and news"
  (let ((i 0)
        (delay 90)
        )
    (while t
      (setq i (+ i 1))
      (gnus-agent-batch)
      (if (= i 1) (gnus-demon-cancel))
      (message 
       "gnus-agent-batch-cycle (%d) sleeping for %d seconds at %s" 
       i delay (current-time-string))
      (sleep-for delay)
      )
    )
  )

and I remember, I had certain problem.
