Use GLib.Timeout.add(), it will run a method every n milliseconds until
that method returns false. For this to work, you must also run a
MainLoop to keep the program alive (however you may already have a main
loop if this is part of a Gtk application or something)
For example:
int seconds = 5;
bool myfunction(){
stdout.printf ("ok\n");
return true;
}
void main () {
Timeout.add(seconds * 1000, myfunction);
var m = new MainLoop();
m.run();
}
(BTW you don't need to have using GLib; at the start of the file, Vala
automatically assumes this is there)
Hope this helps :)
