Hi Lynnhom,Welcome to javaranch....
Things go unexpectedly wrong when you provide links in your posts casting your real problems in the problems and solutions described in those links instead of describing your original problem here at JavaRanch....
.
Try to google things but on javaranch describe your problems in your way rather than providing links here.
By the way your problem seem to be related to the tasks which should be executed at fixed intervals of time starting after specified amount of time.
Check the sample code given below-
For me this code prints "Hiiiii" after 50 seconds first time and then prints same after every 60 seconds.You can put your own business logic instead of
System.out.println("hiiiii"); here.
Now tell me what you have done and what useful you have found in give code snippet.
