# schedule_suspensions(+Trigger)

Take the suspension list associated with the symbolic trigger Trigger and schedule them for execution.

Trigger
  An atom.

## Description

Suspensions in ECLiPSe go through several stages: They are created, attached to variables or symbolic triggers, later scheduled for execution, and finally executed.

The task of schedule_suspensions/1 is to take suspensions from the global suspension list associated to the symbolic name Trigger, and schedule them for execution. The suspensions are inserted into a global priority list, according to their individual priority. A subsequent wake/0 will then actually execute them.

If no suspensions are associated to Trigger, schedule_suspensions/1 just succeeds and does nothing.

### Modes and Determinism

- schedule_suspensions(+) is det

## Examples

    [eclipse 1]: suspend(writeln(world), 2, trigger(hello)),
            schedule_suspensions(hello), wake.
    world
    yes.
