 Posted: Sat Sep 02, 2006 9:41 pm Post subject: Timers and additions |
 |
|
I'm wanting to create a script thats works on the basis of start and stop on a per user level with addition of time...
for example:
| Quote: |
<nick> !login
<bot> Nick you're now logged in
<nick2> !login
<bot> Nick2 you're now logged in
|
While logged in a timer or similar is running basically counting mins which are written to a file
| Quote: |
<nick2> !logout
<bot> Nick2 you're now logged out
|
in the file it should say similar to:
| Code: |
Nick1 has been logged in for 0 hours 10 mins 23 seconds
|
Seconds not really needed but for hours and mins its a must, this file then must restart once every 7 days ( renaming the old one to log.lastweek ..whatever )
I'm very uncomfy with timers and ive not worked too often if ever with additions in this manner could someone give me some tips, a starting point or even better point me to one that does the above already  ( never know huh ? )
note
The basis of login is NOT based on bots userlist but users on a specific channel - anyone on said channel must be able to login/out
preferbly with a specific flag being able to log users out that failed to log themselves out |

No need for timers. Just use the [unixtime] when they login and the difference from NOW in unixtime and the last unixtime recorded:
| Code: |
set now [unixtime]
set difference [expr [unixtime - $now]]
set duration [duration $difference]
|
Also, if all of your users use a specific credentials then I would go for XTRA fields in the userfile for each user in particular.
| Code: |
setuser $hand XTRA LAST [unixtime]
|
and to see the actual online time use something like:
| Code: |
set last [getuser $hand XTRA LAST]
set difference [expr [unixtime - $last]]
set duration [duration $difference]
|

then you need to develop an authorization system first; or by "login" you mean simply recording current time for the user issued that command?

| Well the reason i thought the use of timers would be needed was it needs to be started and stoped by the user and then recorded to a text file/database file of some format so the administration can see WHO is actually putting in what amount of times on a per week basis, but none of the users will be on the userlist |

You should be able to use most of caesar's script. Just have to use variables to store "logon-time", rather than the user database fields.. (arrays with nicks as index comes to mind)
Only use for timers that I could possibly see, would be some automated logout-feature. Although this would probably be easier to implement without timers aswell.
As for writing to the logfile, I'd either write on "!logout", or on a regular basis using "bind time". Log rotation would be implemented using "bind time" or "bind evnt".
