I'm trying run my_mod which i'm running in conjunction with yaws so
that the my_mod will every 5 minutes go and check a printer for home
and grab the pages printed and stick it in a mnesia table. I then use
a .yaws page to look at the mnesia page count values. This is why I'm
trying to get the timer to work as I start yaws and keep going after
yaws is started.
