No wonder I wasn't finding it using `timer' to search . . .
Ok, now you've steered me to Lars' description... but being an elisp
ignoramus of long standing ... I'm drawing blanks about how to write
the handler I'm after.
First, understand, I have a continuous terrible time even using gnus
anymore. It seems my connection to news.gmane.io is so tenuous that
if I read for even a minute my connection closes or stagnates or
something so if I try to move to another message in gnus it just draws
the `gnus busy' thing and no further action is possible until I close
and reopen the server.
Or, more accurately stated; closing the server prompts gnus to reopen
it I guess.
traceroute shows a long string or `* * *' in midst of tracing my route
to news.gmane.io .. I guess its bad enough that it has to be
constantly refreshed manually.
Makes it a real grind to use gnus.
Before Eric posted the code below:
I'd have to go to server buffer and close then open the server. Or
even restart gnus entirely with `R'.
some time ago:
Erica A; on gmane.emacs.gnus.general posted this:
(dolist (elem gnus-opened-servers)
(gnus-close-server (car elem)))
If I eval that it will allow me to proceed in gnus in a few seconds.
But then when I read anything or pause a while it needs manual
attention again.
So, I think I would like to combine the `dolist' with a gnus-daemon-handler
similar to the example larsi gave:
(gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-close-connections 30 t)
Long ago I had at least two daemon handlers in ~/.gnus but over time
I've lost track of them.
Just having a hell of a time figuring out how to combine a gnus daemon handler
with:
(dolist (elem gnus-opened-servers)
(gnus-close-server (car elem)))
Hopefully someone will be willing to take a stab at it and I can see how
to go about it.
