I've modified the script so that it does not check the servers and I think I see the problem:
News checked at Thu Feb 20 16:41:01 2020 News checked at Thu Feb 20 16:46:01 2020 News checked at Thu Feb 20 16:51:01 2020 News checked at Thu Feb 20 17:00:41 2020 News checked at Thu Feb 20 17:05:41 2020 [2 times] News checked at Thu Feb 20 17:10:41 2020 [3 times] It is checking multiple times. Why is it doing that? (defun news-check () (message "News checked at %s" (current-time-string)) (setq result (run-with-idle-timer (time-add (current-idle-time) 300) t (lambda () (news-check)))) ) (defun tell-me-news () (interactive) (setq result (run-with-idle-timer 300 t (lambda () (news-check)))) (message "timer result %s" result) ) _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
