I need to add a timer to execute a command every 5 minutes. Looking at the manual and a tutorial I found, I think the code would appear as such:

Code: Select all

timer 5 Check_For_OnJoin_PMS
proc Check_For_OnJoin_PMS {} {
    puthelp "PRIVMSG secureserv :checkchan #(channel name here)"
}

My questions are this. Lol, is this the right syntex???? And will it execute every 5 minutes???

thank you for your time, most appriceated.

your code will privmsg once after 5 minutes then do no more

try

Code: Select all

timer 5 Check_For_OnJoin_PMS 
proc Check_For_OnJoin_PMS {} { 
    puthelp "PRIVMSG secureserv :checkchan #(channel name here)"
    timer 5 Check_For_OnJoin_PMS 
}

or use bind time
