This approach seems to work very well.  Thanks, Klaus.

Best,

Hi David,

I'd like to have a stack wake up (say every hour), do some work, and then go back to sleep. Has anyone got something like that working?

This sounds like a case for "send xyz to ... in..."

...
send "do_important_hourly_stuff" to stack xyz in 60*60 secs
...


Then in the handler:

on do_important_hourly_stuff
   ## do your important hourly stuff here
   ## ..
  send "do_important_hourly_stuff" to stack xyz in 60*60 secs
end do_important_hourly_stuff

I'm nervous about setting the idlerate to a rather large number, and I'm seeking suggestions about prior experiences before I try a few experiments.

Using "idle" and "idlerate" for this task is a very, very, very, very, very bad idea ;-)

Thanks.

Dave Brooks
