I have devised this script to set up idle timers to poll the news
server. But it seems to cause emacs to hang after a while. If I use gtk
I can get it to respond with ctrl-g, but running in a terminal,
i.e. konsole or lxterminal, it is more difficult. What's wrong? This is
placed in .gnus
(defun news-check ()
(ignore-errors
(gnus-group-get-new-news)
)
(setq result (run-with-idle-timer (time-add (current-idle-time) 300) t
(lambda () (news-check))))
)
(defun tell-me-news ()
(interactive)
(setq result (run-with-idle-timer 300 t (lambda () (news-check))))
(message "timer result %s" result)
)
(tell-me-news)
