Hi,

running the script every 5 min or executing a func every 5 min? Second build a loop like while wend with a sleep or a Timer.

Look in the AutoIt help file under AutoIt > Function Reference > Timer and Delay Functions > TimerInit

Use the help file's Search feature and search for AdlibEnable - you click on the Search tab, there on the left pane, newbe.

very new to this i know what loops are but dont know the syntax or where to put the statements in before or after the functions.

thanks for all your help.

AutoIt isn't like some old version of php any more - functions can be defined anywhere, so folks usually just define them at the bottom of the script, after the main loop if there is one. Browse the forums for some scripts, and study the scripts at the bottom of the lowest nodes in the AutoIt help file.

while 1

MouseMove(10, 100)

Sleep(5000)

wend

while 1

MouseMove(10, 100)

Sleep(5000)

wend

sleep 5000 will give you 5 seconds not 5 minutes. Try sleep(300000)

5minutes *60seconds *1000ms = 300000

The real story here though is that if we were all to pool our paychecks to buy SpongeBob a bottle of bathroom cleaner, he'd be a realkiller of bathroom germs, if not of threads.
