emit signal every 5 minutes

[Igor86]

Hello!

For my project I would need to emit a signal every 5 minutes. I recall having seen SOMEWHERE a one line comand that does exactly this, call a function at a regular interval. After spending some time googling I was not able to find it again.

What would be the best way to emit a signal every 5 minutes without locking the program the rest of the time?

Any help appreciated!

Best regards

Igor
