stdragon i got your point and you are right, then the second option is for adding masks which aren't on bots user list, right ?
About a separate list for monitored users, in this case i am thinking to have on the list just the nicks which are monitored and not to have them in memory when the script is loaded. This way when a nick join it is compared against nicks list and the timer start is it is on the list.
Another thing is to have separate info by day when an owner/master look for a nick, like:
Quasimodo was in channel #test
900 20.06.2002
700 19.06.2002
and so on...
Also the script should be able to respond only to those which it monitor either as notice or msg, not notice to channel.
I think it is a good ideea to have a file for every user on the list in the ontimer directory called like ot_quasimodo, or whatever u like which have inside the past info about that user, like above (date and time in minutes). When a user is deleted the file will be deleted as well. When a user is added the file is created, here u can add at the beginning of the file who add that nick.
I still consider usefull to have the possibility to add/remove nicks or masks thru msg and public command (like !ontimer add/rem <nick>), ofcourse limited to a flag at your choice.
Tell me what do u think about these and thank you for it, for start working at the script.

i was wondering, if its possible that to measure how much time nicks/users spend in certain channels on a daily base, like by date.
right now it gives total time.. like if handle has spent 3 hours yesterday, and 4 hours today, and if i do !ontime ... today, it gives 7hours..
that will be great if we can see daily measurment with dates
like 03/10/03 4 hours..
03/11/03 5 hours...etc
