execpi does not repeat itself

[Microcrap]

Hello there.

Issue

Execpi only runs once (same than execp) and not repeat the command after the interval selected.

Informations

conky 1.10.8 on Xubuntu 18.04

Unrelated... I ran into an issue where execpi isn't firing their commands at correct intervals (i.e. commands ran at 1-2s intervals instead of specified 5s, 10s, 15s, 20s intervals). c352069 is the first bad commit.

Can we have a config too? v1.10.8 execs commands repeatedly okay for me here using...

${execpi 5 date}
${execpi 10 date +%T}
${execpi 15 date +%T%}
${execpi 20 date +%T%%%}

This is very strange - this bug did not exist in that build in my experience - refer to bug #870 ( execpi interval values are not correct )

All said - this bug exists 👍

I can reproduce this on v1.10.7. Can't compile v1.10.6 or below due to Makefile error.
