You're welcome.
Something else has come to mind. This too, does not directly fill your request.
But, if you are interested in channel stats, then there is a possibility that you will find this interesting.
First, visit:
https://www.kreativrauschen.com/stats.mod/
I think that's where this module originated. There is a description there.
This module has been around for a while.
At some point in time - I think it was when version 1.8 of Eggdrop came out - this module (and apparently, others too) had problems.
They worked on them.
Here is where they made the fixed versions available.
Visit:
https://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/eggdrop/modules/1.8/
You can see stats.mod.1.3.3-pseudo.tar.gz there.
I haven't installed it myself in a while. But I have used stats.mod.1.3.3-pseudo.tar.gz on Eggdrop version 1.8x bots and it works.
I have not tried it on 1.9x yet.
( I also see:
https://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/eggdrop/modules/ there now.
That's new to me. I don't know what is in the 1.9/ dir. )
This is a module, not a script. Means that you don't simply load it with a source line in eggdrop.conf. ( You do load some of its config that way though) You unarchive the file in the correct place (follow the directions) and then re-compile eggdrop and re-install. It takes longer to read the directions than it does to actually do it.
Once you have it up and working properly, you can issue public commands in a channel, and it will have the bot respond. Stats, etc.
And! ...
... it can respond to a web browser! You can tell people the url:portnumber to put into their browser and the bot will make a stats page, on-the-fly , live !
Tons of stats info can be viewed, just by clicking around.
I think you said something about a timed announcement of stats? Perhaps instead, you could have your bot do a timed announcement of the
url:portnumber to visit ?
Just a thought ...
Good luck with your endeavors.
