Hey all,<br>
<br>
I'm pretty new to Twisted Framework but things are going along nicely.<br>
At the moment I am trying to get a timer to fire off say every 5<br>
minutes.<br>
What's the best way to do this with twisted?<br>
I found an old link to a how to with timers in twisted on the<br>
<a href="http://twistedmatrix.com" target="_blank">twistedmatrix.com</a> site but there wasn't a web page there when I clicked<br>
</blockquote><div><br>You can use LoopingCall: <<a href="http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/8.2.0/api/twisted.internet.task.LoopingCall.html">http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/8.2.0/api/twisted.internet.task.LoopingCall.html</a> >, like so:<br>
<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">from twisted.internet.task import LoopingCall<br>MINUTES = 60.0<br>def myTimer():<br> doSomeStuff()<br>repeater = LoopingCall(myTimer)<br>repeater.start(5 * MINUTES)<br></div></div>
