If you are using Panther 5.10 or later, there is also support for timer functions. You can also get a patch for Panther 4.50; 4.60 and 5.00. Use the TIMER_FUNC code for sm_install. For example,

struct fnc_data timer_funcs[] =
{
{ TF_MINUTES, poll_database, 0, 0, 10, 0 }
}

int tcount = sizeof ( timer_funcs ) / sizeof (struct fnc_data ) ;

sm_install ( TIMER_FUNC, timer_funcs, &tcount ) ;

The function interface and return codes of timer functions is the same as that for timeout functions.
