to test stopping SheduleTask i first prepended code with task= on new notebook document. then tried TaskRemove[Tasks[]] and TaskRemove[task]. neither worked. i really like this solution but i cant use it until i figure out how to stop it. i think i can figure out the other things.

if you dont mind i really like this but works too good (saves every 3 - 5 seconds).. how to stop this unnamed ScheduleTask? i removed cell containing code and close/reopen notebook now WindowStatusArea has frozen message Saving Notebook now. ideally i wish to anchor your solution to a function for starting it. autoSave[s,p] would have two arguments: s for duration of save recurrence and another argument p for length of pause for status messages. and finally how to stop autoSave[s,p] . i am about a year in with Mathematica and have no idea how to manage ScheduledTasks.

the dynamic button would have been included in a DockedCell toolbar where all Buttons are set to Method -> "Queued". Could Dynamic options such as SynchronousUpdating have averted notebook freeze?
