JavaScript - SetInterval doesn't function properly

Question

I got this piece of script (runned locally):

Answer 1

You need to call setInterval() without parenthesis on your function, like this:

setInterval(uploadnew, 1000*60*5);

Using parenthesis you're calling it immediately and assigning the result (undefined) to be run on an interval, instead don't use parenthesis to pass the function itself, not the result of the function.
