timer function workaround tia sal22

[ratulloch]

Greetings All 
I'm trying to create a function which runs at different times very 
much how 
the hands of a clock works.  I planned on using the timer function to 
vary the 
rate at which they run like in this link 
http://blogs.mathworks.com/videos/2008/05/05/advanced-matlab-timer-ob... 
but octave (a matlab type of program) does not have this function. 
Example of what I'm trying to do 
1) have several objects that go from 0-360 degrees 
incrementing by 1 
2) the clock example is the best one I can think of 
0-360 degrees in 1 second 
0-360 degrees in 1 minute 
0-360 degrees in 1 hour 
Is there a way to do this without user the timer function?
