Hi, I'm trying to periodically replot my script after a certain number of seconds. But pause only works until the first occurance of "set terminal", after that pause is ignored.

Is there any way to get around it? I use gnuplot with windows10.
Cheers, Chris

I have seen no other reports of this problem. Certainly "pause
<seconds>" works on all platforms that I have tried myself.
If you are sure this is reproducible on Windows 10, please file a bug
report and specify what version and build of gnuplot you are using.
E.g. gp524-win64-mingw_1.exe downloaded from SourceForge.

This is the gnuplot version I am using:

G N U P L O T
Version 5.0 patchlevel rc2 last modified 2014-08-28

on Windows 10, version 1803, system build 17134.112

pause works until a command such as "set term win" or "set term png".

That may correspond to this bug:
https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/bugs/1867/

The problem was specific to windows executables built with mingw.
The fix first appeared in the 5.0.6 release (March 2017).
