Why my Elisp function is not working?

### Why my Elisp function is not working? The timer is working ``` (run-with-timer 2 3 (lambda() (message "OK"))) ``` Kill the timer ``` (setq timer-list nil) ``` After I kill the timer above, run it with different function ``` (run-with-timer 2 3 (lambda() (thing-at-point 'word 'no-properties))) ``` The above timer is not working Here is the debug message ``` [nil 25246 7057 361572 3 (closure (t) nil (thing-at-point 'word 'no-properties)) nil nil ```

Try (run-with-timer 2 3 (lambda() (message (thing-at-point 'word 'no-properties)))) --- > (setq timer-list nil) Is probably a bad idea since it removes all currently installed timers --- > [nil 25246 7057 361572 3 (closure (t) nil (thing-at-point 'word 'no-properties)) nil nil This is no debug message, this is the printed representation of a timer object, you are supposed to store it in a variable to use it later with `cancel-timer`, like so: (setq foo (run-with-timer 2 3 (lambda() (message (thing-at-point 'word 'no-properties))))) (cancel-timer foo)

>(run-with-timer 2 3 (lambda() (message (thing-at-point 'word 'no-properties)))) You save my lift :), it works, Yep, cancel-timer is better
