killtimers

[Dedan]

I need to kill timers when a ".rehash' command is called.

I have read the manuals and searched some scripts.
but i am not clearly understanding the format.

The process to get the timer "id" is vague to me


my timers are:

utimer $av_time [list av:voice $nick $chan]

utimer $bnj_limit {incr bnj_ctr -1}

utimer 9 {set bnj_mode 1}


Thanks for any help given.

You have two options:
1) store the timer id returned by 'timer'/'utimer' when the timer is created.
2) search through the list returned by 'timers'/'utimers'

could you expand on that please.

could you expand on that please.

When creating the utimer:

Code: Select all

set stored_timer_ID [utimer 10 [list do stuff]]

Using 'utimers':

Code: Select all

foreach u [utimers] {
  # here [lindex $u 1] is the command to be performed
  # and [lindex $u 2] is the timer ID
}

But maybe you're not asking the right question? How about not starting any new timers if you're rehashing? Just set a global variable in your script and check if it exists before creating the timers.

in the following code , wouldn't [lindex $u 2] be $nick?

Code: Select all

utimer $av_time [list av:voice $nick $chan] 

so where is the 'timer id" in this list?
