public void schedule(TimerTask task,long delay,long period)

i have confusion over these input params delay,period. not able to understand from the doc.

delay means ? after how much time the program will start execute ? am i right ?

period means ? if the period is 10 secs , say it will kill the running process and start over again from the begining ? am i right ?

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
