Subject: demons and handlers

Message-ID: <m3n1uaude9.fsf@satellite.local.lan> (raw)
I've never been able to figure out the demon/handler syntax enough to
get much use from it.
Using a function posted by Larsi a while back, I want to run this
function every 5 minutes while online.
Rather than try for sophisticated code to check for onlinedness or
whatever, probably easier to just eval the code when going online and
"uneval" it when going off. (not sure how to uneval code either but
seems one could)
The function allows an online gnus to exchange information with an
offline gnus:
(defun lars-fetch-news ()
(interactive)
(push "/usr/local/pgnus-0.96/lisp" load-path)
(let ((init-file-user "")
(gnus-always-read-dribble-file t))
(gnus))
(gnus-group-send-drafts)
(gnus-agent-fetch-session)
(gnus-group-quit))
I'd like to run this every 5 minutes. How would this be accomplished?
