public void class Ars implements Runnable{
    public void run(){
      //  code to check mailbox and process it
    }
}

public void main(String args[]){
    Ars ars = new Ars();
    while(true){
        ars.start(); // starts the thread
        ars.sleep(10000); // puts it right to sleep
    }
}

I want to be able to sleep the checker thread. So I guess I should split the
checker up into another class, and have it launch the process thread? What
do you think.
