See:
http://www.eggheads.org/support/egghtml/1.6.21/tcl-commands.html
and find:
bind time
It says:
| Quote: |
mask matches 5 space separated integers of the form: "minute hour day month year". minute, hour, day, month have a zero padding so they are exactly two characters long; year is four characters.
|
Could that be the problem?
While you are there, you might like to find
bind cron
and read about it too.
I'm not sure what you are really trying to do, but it is possible that
bind cron
might suit your needs better.
I hope this helps. |

To me, when I read this:
| Quote: |
minute, hour, day, month have a zero padding so they are exactly two characters long;
|
it means this:
| Code: |
bind time - "00 00 24 07 *" week:ended
|
Perhaps I'm understanding the doc incorrectly. How do you interpret it? |

I tried it too, it didn't work for me either. 
With a few minutes experimenting, I found it.
This works:
bind time -|- "* 17 24 06 2014" a_test_proc
running that proc once every minute. That's as far as I tested it.
The trick: see that 06 in there?
I found that by intuitively trying it.
Afterwards, I found:

I hope this helps. |

G'evening Gents,
You will not be able to create a mask that will trigger on "sundays", mainly because there's no weekday-field in the mask. The "day" part refers to the day of month.
If you'd like the binding to trigger on a specific date, then that is obviously possible, however...
As mentioned throughout the thread, single-digit values must be prefixed by 0, month starts at 0, day of month starts at 1.
To trigger on every sunday however, you'll need to use the cron binding instead:
| Code: | bind cron - "0 0 * * 0" a_test_proc
#Triggers at 0:00 every sunday |

in my first response to him. Since he didn't comment on it, or even acknowledge it, I dropped back to simply trying to answer what he specifically asked.
I'm glad you took the time to bring it up, again. |

Thanks guys will test the bind cron and report back.
ok i get this error
| Code: | | bad type, should be one of: act, away, bcst, bot, chat, chjn, chof, chon, chpt, ctcp, ctcr, dcc, disc, evnt, filt, flud, join, kick, link, load, mode, msg, msgm, need, nick, nkch, notc, note, part, pub, pubm, raw, rejn, sign, splt, time, topc, unld, wall |

Is there no other way round it or should i upgrade ?

Which version of eggdrop are you using?
Might add, that the cron binding is only available in 1.6.20 onwards..
If you've got an older eggdrop, you could use something along these lines as a workaround:
| Code: | bind time - "00 00 *" someproc
proc someproc {min hour day month year} {
if {[clock format [clock seconds] -format "%u"] == 7} {
#Today is sunday, so do something here...
}
} |

See:
http://eggwiki.org/1.6.20#Bind_types_added
I use 1.6.21 , and recommend that you upgrade to it.
I don't know if there is any other way around it. That's a question for nml375, but I expect that he will recommend that you upgrade, too. |

Actually, this does trigger on Sundays at 0:00 hour. To be more specific, it would be at midnight when Saturday turns to Sunday.
To have it trigger on the start of the new week, you'd need to match against Monday:
| Code: | | bind cron - "0 0 * * 1" a_test_proc |
