If you want to run a script every few seconds you could do this.

hiRegTimer( "yourfunction( \"your input\")" 10)

I use this in a showproperties function which shows the w and l of
the
current selected transistor or resistor for example. I implemented
a value input to start, stop or repeat the function. This enables
you to stop it from repeat mode. Sample code to get the idea:

procedure( wrShowProperties( @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 value instance)

  let( ( all internal vars ...)

    wrText = nil
    unless( boundp( 'wrShowPropertiesValue)
      wrShowPropertiesValue = "start"
      wrShowPropertiesTextPrev = ""
    )

    if( null( value) && null( instance)
    then
      if( wrShowPropertiesValue == "repeat"
      then
        wrShowPropertiesValue = "stop"
      else
        wrShowPropertiesValue = "repeat"
      )
    )

    case( wrShowPropertiesValue
      ( "stop"
        wrText = "stopped"
        instancepointerPrev = nil
      )
      ( t
....
code to get interesting properties to show
....
        if( wrShowPropertiesValue == "repeat" && null( instance)
        then
          hiRegTimer( "wrShowProperties( \"repeat\")" 10)
        )
        if( wrShowPropertiesValue == "stop"
        then
          wrText = "stopped"
        )
      )
    ) ;; case
    if( wrDecodeBindKeysText == " Alt-q Alt-q"
    then
      wrTextStop =" (Alt-q to stop)"
    else
      wrTextStop =" (Alt-q Alt-q to stop)"
    )
    if( stringp( wrText) && wrText != wrShowPropertiesTextPrev &&
wrWriteModeTxt == wrWriteModeTxtPrev
    then
      wrWindowName( strcat( wrWriteModeTxt "wrShowProperties: " wrText
wrTextStop))
      wrShowPropertiesTextPrev = wrText
    )
  ) ;; let
;; test: wrShowProperties( )
)
