How to run another thread and using that thread run timer to repeat process?

Hi i want to start a timer with another thread and want to repeat process in that thread. i had tried but it doesn't work.

my code snippet is given below

 [NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(setupTimerThread) toTarget:self   withObject:nil];


    -(void)setupTimerThread
    {
    NSLog(@"inside setup timer thread");
    // self.startTiemr = [[NSTimer alloc]init];
    startTiemr = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:3.0 target:self    selector:@selector(triggerTimer) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

    runLoop = [NSRunLoop currentRunLoop];
     [runLoop addTimer:startTiemr forMode:NSRunLoopCommonModes];
        [runLoop run];       
}

can anyone suggest me a proper way to do that?

Thanks in advance.

try this code:

NStimer  *uptimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.0 target:self selector:@selector(bachground_todaylist) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

 -(void)bachground_todaylist
    {

        [self performSelectorInBackground:@selector(yourmethod) withObject:nil];


    }
you wants to stop proces

[uptimer invalidate];
