</cmdsynopsis>
<para>The
<replaceable>command</replaceable>
is executed after about
<replaceable>delay_ms</replaceable>
milliseconds. This may be useful in some tricky setups. The
<replaceable>command</replaceable>
is executed in the same context window as the
<emphasis remap='B'>Schedule</emphasis>
command. An optional integer argument
<replaceable>command_id</replaceable>
may be given in decimal, hexadecimal or octal format. This id can
be used with the
<fvwmref cmd="Deschedule"/>
command to remove the scheduled command before it is executed. If
no id is given, fvwm uses negative id numbers, starting with -1
and decreasing by one with each use of the
<emphasis remap='B'>Schedule</emphasis>
command.
Note that the
<emphasis remap='B'>Schedule</emphasis>
command and its arguments undergo the usual command line
expansion, and, when
<replaceable>command</replaceable>
is finally executed, it is expanded again. It may therefore be
necessary to quote the parts of the command that must not be
expanded twice.</para>
<para>Note: A window's id as it is returned with $[w.id] can be used as
the
<replaceable>command_id</replaceable>.
Example:</para>
<programlisting>
<fvwmref cmd="Current"/> Schedule 1000 $[w.id] <fvwmref cmd="WindowShade"/>
</programlisting>
<para>The
<emphasis remap='B'>Schedule</emphasis>
command also supports the optional keyword
<fvwmopt cmd="Schedule" opt="Periodic"/>
which indicates that the
<replaceable>command</replaceable>
should be executed every
<replaceable>delay_ms</replaceable>.
Example:</para>
<programlisting>
Schedule Periodic 10000 <fvwmref cmd="PipeRead"/> '[ -N "$MAIL" ] && echo \
Echo You have mail'
</programlisting>
<para>Use the
<fvwmref cmd="Deschedule"/>
command to stop periodic commands.</para>
