I want to write a command independent mod function that performs a task at a regular interval. How do I export it to the core? Is there a better way? Thank you.

I figured it out in case anyone is interested.

Code:
void ecgn_test(void)
{
   dprintf(DP_SERVER, "PRIVMSG %s :TESTING\n", "#ecgn");
}

char *ecgn_start(Function *func_table)
{
   global = func_table;
   module_register(MODULE_NAME, ecgn_table, 1, 2);
   if (!(irc_funcs = module_depend(MODULE_NAME, "irc", 1, 3)))
      return "This module requires irc 1.3 or later.";
   if (!module_depend(MODULE_NAME, "eggdrop", 108, 0))
      return "This module requires eggdrop1.8 or later.";

   add_hook(HOOK_MINUTELY, (Function) ecgn_test);

   add_builtins(H_pub, stat_cmd);
   return NULL;
}


The key here is the add_hook() function. This will call my ecgn function every minute without having to bind it to a command. This is exactly what I wanted.

Hope this helps someone.

And why would you bother with this if there's time or cron binds?

What are those and how do you use them?

If you don't have TCL Commands file then grab it from here and then look at the bind cron or bind time.
