So you want to save a single buffer, not all, as auto-save-buffers does?

In this case here a little step forward

(run-with-idle-timer 1 nil (lambda () (set-buffer "MY-TEX")(write-file (expand-file-name "~/my.tex"))(message (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M" (current-time)))))

It runs just once, as timers not to switch off might turn nasty.
Gives some messages when saving.

Edit the my-tex parts.
