Add Timer to a Web App (not page)

[Peter_Lawrence]

Hi,

Is it possible to add a timer to an application (a Web App in this case) rather than to a page/window?

I have an app that I am trying to debug and it would be helpful if I could have it log certain values to file periodically independently of whether anyone is currently accessing a web page.

I suppose what I’m saying is that I want a server-side rather than client-side timer that can trigger an event. Is that possible?

Quote from the LR:

You can also use Timer and Xojo.Core.Timer in a web app but these will run on the server and will not be session-specific so they are far less useful.

Thanks, that gives me something to look into.
