If your job is long, I'd say use either "exec" or "ined create INTERPRETER"
under tkined (refer to man pages for exact usage). Otherwise, "job" is probably
easier.

I think I would use a 'job' command and run the script via it.
see 'man n job' (under linux) for all the details.
snippet ...
set curr [job current]
if {$Glo(debug) > 4} {
set jobs [job info]
puts " Job List=$jobs current=[job current]"
foreach job $jobs {
puts " Job $job = [$job configure]"
}
}
# Either start a job or reset the time on the existing job
if {$curr == ""} {
job create \
-command CheckDate \
-interval [expr [GetTtm] * 1000]
} else {
$curr configure \
-interval [expr [GetTtm] * 1000]
}
add -iterations 1
to execute the script just once.
