[erlang-questions] repeat function every hour

[Evans, Matthew]

Yes.

timer:apply_after(Time,M,F,A).

For example, to execute test_mod:test_fun(hello,1,2) every hour:

timer:apply_after(3600000, test_mod, test_fun, [hello,1,2]).

Of course, your function "test_fun" should call timer:apply_afer(Time,M,F,A) again.

I see that there is a timer module.  Is there something where I can
start an erl program and it will run a certain function at some given
time on a given interval - kind of like cron?

thx,
