Hi sir,

I am thinking to run a piece of code every one hour, up to 5 times. I tried to use the wakeup function, but not worked. Do you know to achieve this task?

Thanks a lot.

You could probably run your code in a loop, and use the sleep() function to wait until the next relevant time period.  However I'd imagine its probably better to schedule the code to run, either using Scheduled Tasks on Windows, or CRON on unix etc. - it depends on what your setup.

Either way, I suppose you'd also have to be sure that your code takes less than an hour to run!

I've put this right now using the sleep() function. Many thanks Smiley Happy
