[Bikash Paul]

Hi,

I want that a thread should run automatically after every 5 mins interval so that it can check a folder for file to upload. I have tried as per my below codes but couldn't slove my problem. Can any one pls guide me.

class ThreadTest extends Thread
  {
    public void run(){
     System.out.println("Test");
     try{
        sleep(50000);  
      }catch(Exception e){}
    }
  }//END OF CLASS
 
class Execute
  {
     public static void main(String[] args)
     {
       ThreadTest t = new ThreadTest();
       t.start();   
     }
 
  }

Thanks & Regards

what's about a loop?
you slept and stoped.

public void run()
{
    do
    {
         try
         {
                 System.out.println("Test");
                 sleep(5 * 60 * 1000);  
         }catch(Exception ignored){}
    }while (true);
}
