"10 *" means ten minutes past every hour, try "?0 *" instead

[makam]

if i want each 2 minutes?

"?2 * * * *"

is it ok?


Thx...

Nope..that's 2 minutes past every ten minutes. How about reading tcl-commands.doc? The mask is matched against the current time each minute.
There's no way to match every 2 minutes with a single mask. (you need five: "?0 *", "?2 *", "?4 *", "?6 *" and "?8 *")
It would probably be better to do the interval check from inside the proc and just bind to "*" (every minute)

Code: Select all

bind time - * mi_proc
proc mi_proc args {
	set interval 2;# minutes
	if {(([clock sec]/60)%$interval)==0} {
		putlog "This is an example..."
	}
}
