[Click] Write handler problem

[Eddie Kohler]

I'll also note that you can use a Script element to get this done.

ICMPAdvertInterval :: Script(TYPE PASSIVE,
      write ICMPAdvert at 1.interval $args,
      write ICMPAdvert at 2.interval $args,
      write ICMPAdvert at 3.interval $args);

Then

ICMPAdvertInterval.run 500

will do what you want.
