repeat
======
Repeatedly calls a lua script at the specified interval.
This allows neat background changes to the function of the game, especially when
invoked from an init file. For detailed usage instructions, use ``repeat -help``.
Usage examples::
repeat -name jim -time delay -timeUnits units -printResult true -command [ printArgs 3 1 2 ]
repeat -time 1 -timeUnits months -command [ multicmd cleanowned scattered x; clean all ] -name clean
The first example is abstract; the second will regularly remove all contaminants
and worn items from the game.
``-name`` sets the name for the purposes of cancelling and making sure you don't schedule the
same repeating event twice. If not specified, it's set to the first argument after ``-command``.
``-time delay -timeUnits units``; delay is some positive integer, and units is some valid time
unit for ``dfhack.timeout(delay,timeUnits,function)``. ``-command [ ... ]`` specifies the
command to be run.
