#wait
 
if I wait in a string, say 5 minutes?

and have anotehr wait after that like


#wait 30000 {save}
south
#wait 30000 {save}
south

they seem to overlap or something?
is there a way to fix that, or make it wait till the first one is up?
or is tehre a ebtter way of doing this?

use #alarm ... i forget the reason wait was put in, but alarm will work better for your purpose

Each #WAIT command will start a new thread. So yes, they will overlap. Type #THREAD to see all threads running.

Code:
#ALARM {-5:00} {save}
-- will do 'save' every 5 minutes

and if you have echo on this might be helpful too:

Code:
#ALARM {-5:00} {#CALL {%pref(EchoCom,0)};save;#CALL {%pref(EchoCom,1)}}
-- This will keep you from seeing the 'save' sent every 5 minutes.
