replace bind time with utimer?

[ricktee76]

I've been running a highly modified domsen Shoutcast script but one thing i cant figure out is the bind time, currently it checks the stream is online every minute and updates the title etc into the chat.

the current bind time:

Code: Select all

bind time - "* * * * *" isonline

which checks every minute.

Code: Select all

proc isonline { nick uhost hand chan arg } {
global etc etc etc
global more more more

// isonline code here

}

i have tried

• set newtimer [utimer 20 {isonline nick uhost hand chan arg}]
  utimer 20
  • utimer 20 {isonline nick uhost hand chan arg}
  the isonline process needs to be run every 20 seconds.
  
  Do i need to add the globals to the utimer?
  
  All help appreciated

The "arguments" in a bind time are <minute> <hour> <day> <month> <year> not 'nick uhost hand chan arg'.

Anyway, give this a try:

Code: Select all

proc checkOnline args {
	# execute the proc you want
	isonline 1 2 3 4 5

	# self maintain
	utimer 20 [list checkOnline]
}

# start the 20 seconds "infinite" loop
utimer 20 [list checkOnline]

And to adapt this to your code:

Code: Select all

proc isonline { nick uhost hand chan arg } {
	global etc etc etc
	global more more more

	// isonline code here

	# self maintain
	utimer 20 [list isonline 1 2 3 4 5]
}

# initiate the loop
utimer 20 [list isonline 1 2 3 4 5]

thanks again caesar your reply was helpful once again, i have now got it working as i wanted by adding.

Much appreciated.

Code: Select all

 if {[info exists isonline]} {
  utimer xx [list isonline $nick $uhost $hand $chan $arg]
  } 
}
