Hi,
Just want a simple script to send a msg to a person every 80 minutes. |

Seems kind of rude to spam the same message to aPerson every 80 minutes, but here it is:)
| Code: |
proc timedMsgProc {} {
puthelp "PRIVMSG aPerson :send this msg to aPerson every 80 minutes"
timer 80 [list timedMsgProc]
}
if {![info exists timedMsgRunning]} {
set timedMsgRunning 1
timer 10 [list timedMsgProc]
}
|

If anyone is willing to test a cron job like 20 */1 * * * (meaning at 20 minutes past the hour) let me know if works.
| Code: |
bind cron - {20 */1 * * *} send:message
proc send:message {min hour day month week} {
puthelp "PRIVMSG user :This is the once every 80 minutes message"
}

Caesar: That seems a lot more like a 60 minute timer, at 20 after every hour.

*/1 or * are the same.
When using */x, it means it will run when * % x (modulo) equals 0.
Examples:
*/5 * * * * will act every time the minutes are 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55
13 */7 * * * will act at 7h13, 14h13 and 21h13

No.
20 */1 will send the message every hour, when minutes are 0, 20 and 40.
The code from SpiKe^^ seems more relevant

Ah, right, i had a feeling a single cron job wouldn't do the job and it actually makes sense.

From within the partyline, this is what I do:
.tcl binds cron

That's because it doesn't come from eggdrop's commands, but from tcllib, meaning it doesn't have an implementation to see them.

A friend of mine remembers me that the (u)timer can have a count parameter (https://github.com/eggheads/eggdrop/blob/develop/doc/sphinx_source/mainDocs/tcl-commands.rst#timer-minutes-tcl-command-count)
if count equals 0, it will never end
| Code: | | .tcl timer 80 {putserv "PRIVMSG nick :hey!"} 0 |
Btw, I think I prefer using the cron package which allows to name the process and adds more flexibility.
