I have a timer function that is called every 60s. I would like to
modify the code such that this happens only when emacs has been idle
for not more than, say, 5 min. Is there a variable that my code
could check in order to know for how long emacs has been idle?
Thanks a lot,
Roland

Maybe you just need the function `run-with-idle-timer'. Anyway you can use
this function to set a variable.
