[erlang-questions] repeat function every hour

[Yurii Rashkovskii]

From erl -man timer :

       apply_interval(Time,  Module,  Function,  Arguments)  ->  {ok,  TRef} |
       {error, Reason}

              Types  Time = integer() in milliseconds
                     Module = Function = atom()
                     Arguments = [term()]

              Evaluates  apply(Module,  Function,  Arguments)  repeatedly   at
              intervals of Time. Returns {ok, TRef}, or {error, Reason}.
