setRepeatInterval [os:all swarm:all lib:activity]

[Steve Emsley]

I need to signal the schedule to alter it's repeat interval depending
on my simulations timestep. O.K. I can do that. Trouble is that if I
then use, say, [outputSchedule setRepeatInterval: newInterval] the
schedule goes out of synch with the simulated time. For instance, say
I was wanting to output at noon each day (which had a repeatInterval
of 96). If I update the repeatInterval to 192 because my timestep has
halved, and I do it at mid-morning, my next output is in
mid-afternoon.

I need some way of knowing what the repeatInterval counter state is
and resetting it to, in this instance, twice that value. The manual
entry for repeatInterval doesn't mention such a method. Am I missing
something?

Thanks 
Steve.
