Hi,

Can i use a timer to launch a process on a repeating schedule (depend on a condition)?
I need to repeate execussion of my process when a condition become true because a have a specific need to do that.

Any idea please.

Thank you.

Don’t confuse a timer with a condition…

What you are asking for is

a process that waits until a condition is true and then executes…and then resets itself. This is the wrong way.

What you need is an EVENT that starts the process and executes. This is builtin using the Start SIGNAL and Start MESSAGE events.
