Library to execute code at defined intervals – useful in command-line scripts or daemons when a resource must be polled periodically.
IntervalExec.run wraps a block of code to be executed at a given interval. For example,
IntervalExec.run(10, :immediate) do puts "Hello, world!" end
will put “Hello, world!” to STDOUT every 10 seconds. See IntervalExec docs for more detail; options provide a post-interval callback hook and change handling for blocks that run longer than the interval
