Bot message to channel

DrTongue · Post by **DrTongue** » Sat Mar 30, 2002 11:06 am

I was looking for a .tcl script for the bot to send a specific text message at a specific time every hour. I found EBI.tcl script for an hourly message to channel but I'd like to be able to specify a certain time OF the hour for the message to go out. This possible??

bind time - "06 30 * * *" {putserv "PRIVMSG #chanofyourchoice : text of the message"}

triggers a timed message at 0630 hours in a 24 hour time format. The three asterisks relate to day month and year. As asterisks they signify any day month and year, ie, every day.

Ok , how about if I wanted the message to go out, say at 5 or 10 past every hour? That possible?

To set it for 5 minutes after the hour would it be something like:

bind time - "05 * * *" {putserv "PRIVMSG #chanofyourchoice : text of the message"}

close.. add an asterisk in the "hour" field t signify that you want it to trigger on any hour, thus:

bind time - "* 05 * * *" {putserv "PRIVMSG #chanofyourchoice : text of the message"}
