How to run a repeating timer every n minutes?

[VYAS ASHISH M-NTB837]

Dear All

How do I write a code that gets executed 'every x' minutes?



I know how to do it 'after x' minutes, I do the following:

def doAtTimerFire():
""" The things I want to do 'after x' minutes go here. """

And then from main code, I do this:

tmr = threading.Timer(timeInSeconds, doAtTimerFire)
tmr.start()


Sorry about the earlier post with wrong subject line.
Please help.

Regards,
Ashish Vyas

You might want to start a thread with a continues loop that primarily
sleeps (time.sleep) but wakes up at regular intervals and executes what
needs to be.
