privmsg nickname on a timer

tcllib also has >> https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcllib/doc/tr ... on/cron.md

if .tcl commands enabled @ partyline .
Code:
.tcl package require cron; cron::every Msg2User [expr {60*80}] {putserv "privmsg Nickname :Hey!"}

A friend of mine remembers me that the (u)timer can have a count parameter (https://github.com/eggheads/eggdrop/blo ... mand-count)
if count equals 0, it will never end

Code:

.tcl timer 80 {putserv "PRIVMSG nick :hey!"} 0

Btw, I think I prefer using the cron package which allows to name the process and adds more flexibility.

That's because it doesn't come from eggdrop's commands, but from tcllib, meaning it doesn't have an implementation to see them.

.tcl binds cron

Ah, right, i had a feeling a single cron job wouldn't do the job and it actually makes sense.

I will test both scripts, im worried tho if i need to change the time to + or - 80mins i wont know how to change 20 */1. Id assume if its 90mins it would be 30 */1 ?

No.
20 */1 will send the message every hour, when minutes are 0, 20 and 40.

The code from SpiKe^^ seems more relevant

*/1 or * are the same.
When using */x, it means it will run when * % x (modulo) equals 0.

Examples:
*/5 * * * * will act every time the minutes are 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55
13 */7 * * * will act at 7h13, 14h13 and 21h13

Caesar: That seems a lot more like a 60 minute timer, at 20 after every hour.

If anyone is willing to test a cron job like 20 */1 * * * (meaning at 20 minutes past the hour) let me know if works.

Code:

bind cron - {20 */1 * * *} send:messageproc send:message {min hour day month week} {puthelp "PRIVMSG user :This is the once every 80 minutes message"}

Seems kind of rude to spam the same message to aPerson every 80 minutes, but here it is:)

Code:

proc timedMsgProc {} {  puthelp "PRIVMSG aPerson :send this msg to aPerson every 80 minutes"  timer 80 [list timedMsgProc]}if {![info exists timedMsgRunning]} {  set timedMsgRunning 1  timer 10 [list timedMsgProc]}

Hi,

Just want a simple script to send a msg to a person every 80 minutes.
