[Seaside] Running a method periodically on a Seaside site

[Sven Van Caekenberghe]

Just use a process like this (in your run.st file):

[ [
    1 minute wait.
    Bla sendOlderOutstanding.
] repeat ]
    forkAt: Processor lowIOPriority
    named: 'Periodic Sigfox sendOlderOutstanding'.

[ [
    5 minutes wait.
    Bla transferT3SigfoxDownlinks.
] repeat ]
    forkAt: Processor lowIOPriority
    named: 'Periodic Sigfox transferT3SigfoxDownlinks'.

You could also add an error handler to protect your process from dying when an error occurs in one iteration.
