have u tried using a bind?

Code: Select all

bind time - "00 * * * *" some_proc
proc some_proc {min hour day month year} {
  blablabla....
}
This executes a proc every 60 mins...

well I'm ignorant to tcl :/

should it be like this?:

Code: Select all

stats="/path/to/stats/"
config="/path/to/config/"
bind time - "00 * * * *" some_proc
proc some_proc {min hour day month year} {
  $stats channel.log $config
} 
I'm making a script that will use irc stats (the free linux equivalent of mircSTATS)

Making eggdrop run the program is silly for all kinds of reasons. Use pisg and use crontab to automate it.
