Controlling Statusbar Scripts

[G.H.]

Did I mention that foo_timer will die if you take your time doing certain
processes?  I could post 'real' code if its necessary.

Say: 
        local function read_foo( var1, var2 )
                local f = io.popen( "ls -A large list please "..var1..var2 )
                local d = f:read("*a")
        end
        
        local function show_foo()
                read_foo("~/Music", "/media/work_backup", some_more_info)
                statusd.inform( ... )
        end

        local function update_foo()
                show_foo()
                foo_timer:set( ... )
        end
        
        statusd.create_timer( ... )
        update_foo()

I needed 'coroutines' to solve that problem.  Bye!
