Subject: Daemons never idle
Date: Sat, 17 May 2003 00:19:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87n0hmmt4p.fsf@doohan.bang.priv.no> (raw)
Platform: Intel PII, debian testing/unstable (sarge)
XEmacs 21.4 (patch 6),
Gnus v5.10.2
I have the following in my ~/.gnus.el:
;; Automatically fetch news and mail every 15 minutes when idle
(gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-news 15 t)
The way I read the docs, is that this means that if emacs has been
idle for 15 minutes, the gnus-demon-scan-news function will be called,
and then called every 15 minutes from then on.
The docs doesn't say so, but I've assumed that if I start doing things
in emacs, the demon will stop running.
What I see is that gnus-demon-scan-news is run after I've started
using emacs again. Is this because gnus-demon-scan-news actually
started running before I touched the keyboard? Or is this a bug in
the daemon stuff? Or is it never supposed to stop fetching once it
has started?
Thanx!
