Scheduling
==========
Calling a function at a regular interval
----------------------------------------
It's possible to automatically call functions at regular intervals,
using the :meth:`~errbot.botplugin.BotPlugin.start_poller` and
:meth:`~errbot.botplugin.BotPlugin.stop_poller` methods.
For example, you could schedule a callback to be executed once every
minute when your plugin gets activated:
.. code-block:: python
:emphasize-lines: 9
from errbot import BotPlugin
class PluginExample(BotPlugin):
def my_callback(self):
self.log.debug('I am called every minute')
def activate(self):
super().activate()
self.start_poller(60, self.my_callback)
It is also possible to specify the `times` parameter, which denotes how
many times the function should be called, for instance:
.. code-block:: python
:emphasize-lines: 9
from errbot import BotPlugin
class PluginExample(BotPlugin):
def my_callback(self):
self.log.debug('I got called after a minute (and just once)')
def activate(self):
super().activate()
self.start_poller(60, self.my_callback, times=1)
