Hi Palanikumar,<br>
<br>
It looks like you're passing the <tt><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#start_timer-3">erlang:start_timer/3</a></tt>
arguments to <tt><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://erlang.org/doc/man/timer.html#apply_interval-4">timer:apply_interval/4</a></tt>:<br>
<br>
<tt>erlang:start_timer(Time, Dest, Msg)</tt><br>
<br>
vs<br>
<br>
<tt>apply_interval(Time, Module, Function, Arguments)</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>erlang:start_timer/3</tt> sends <tt>Msg</tt> to <tt>Dest</tt>
after <tt>Time</tt> ms; <tt>timer:apply_interval/4</tt> calls <tt>Module:Function(Arguments)</tt>
every <tt>Time</tt> ms.<br>
<br>
So the error message is telling you that the function <tt>timer:apply_interval/3</tt>
you're trying to call doesn't exist.<br>
<br>

<div>Hi Guys,<br>
<br>
</div>
I want to send message to the front-end
via websocket in particular time interval.<br>
</div>
So i use timer module for this purpose.<br>
<b>timer:apply_interval(1000, self(), <<"How' you
doin'?">>),</b></div>
<div><b><br>
</b></div>
<div><b><br>
</b></div>
But it returns the following error<br>
<br>
<b>15:18:20.558 [error] CRASH REPORT Process
<0.570.0> with 0 neighbours crashed with reason:
call to undefined function timer:apply_interval(6000,
<0.570.0>, <<"How' you doin'?">>)<br>
15:18:20.558 [error] Ranch listener my_cowboy_ws_server
terminated with reason: call to undefined function
timer:apply_interval(6000, <0.570.0>,

<br>
<br>
</b></div>
Its there any way to solve this problem. <br>
<br>
</div>
I already tried with <br>
<br>
<b>erlang:start_timer(60000, self(), <<"How' you
doin'?">>)<br>
<br>
</b></div>
Its only send message after particular timer. I didn't found
method in this module to send message in particular interval.<br>
