Emacs is smart enough to know when to update the mode-line. What is
the exactly problem you are facing? Does the following code do not work
for you?
(progn
;; create the `act` variable
(setq act "Indic")
;; add `act` to `global-mode-string`, so it's displayed in the mode-line
(push '("" act) global-mode-string)
;; change position of `global-mode-string` in the mode-line
(setq-default mode-line-format
'("%e" mode-line-front-space
(:propertize ("" mode-line-mule-info mode-line-client
mode-line-modified mode-line-remote)
display (min-width (5.0)))
mode-line-frame-identification mode-line-buffer-identification
mode-line-misc-info ;; <-- TO HERE
" " mode-line-position
(vc-mode vc-mode)
" " mode-line-modes mode-line-end-spaces))
;; you can then update `act' as you want
;; the mode-line will be automatically
;; updated (when Emacs thinks it needs to)
;; the code below will update `act' every 3s
(run-with-timer 3
3
(lambda ()
;; not really needed, but you can force it
;;(force-mode-line-update)
(setq act
(format"|act=%s|" (current-time-string))))))
