bind time - "30 * * * *" yourproc
bind time - "00 * * * *" yourproc

proc yourproc {min hour day moth year} { blabla }

executes yourproc at XX:00 and XX:30

There is a way to do a timer on every five mins in "bind time"?

[caesar]

Code: Select all

bind time - "?5 * * * *" yourproc 
bind time - "00 * * * *" yourproc

Code: Select all

bind time - "00 * * * *" yourproc

Or rather "?0 *".

huh? for every 5 min how will "?0 *" work?

You still need the "?5 *" mask too, but "00 *" doesn't match anything but the whole hour, so your two binds would trigger the proc at 00 05 15 25 35 45 and 55. (not exactly every 5 minutes )

Btw: why do you insist on matching all the spaces?

Code: Select all

bind time - ?0* proc
bind time - ?5* proc

There's no need to match those spaces at the end. They're always there, so you don't need to verify it by including them in your mask.

Well, it's "minute hour day month year" so yes, the "bind time - "00 * * * *" yourproc" should be correct. Anyway, if it's working then don't repair it.

If you want the proc triggered once every hour, sure The request was for every 5 minutes. The only reason to keep the extra chars in the masks would be if you want to waste cpu matching those spaces that are always there.
bloated == broken imo.

Oh, thanks for the tip.
