the hand that feeds you

[Andreas Seik]

Hello Newsgroup,

i need code in a hook that is executed only once,
so i tested the following:


(defvar my-hook '())
(defun kill-myself ()
 (insert "only once")(remove-hook 'my-hook 'kill-myself))
(add-hook 'my-hook 'kill-myself)
(run-hooks 'my-hook);; i think it might crash here, but it does not
(run-hooks 'my-hook)

it, seems to work, but i do not trust it.
is it not "biting the hand that feeds you"

thank you
Andreas
