Hi, does anyone know of a script that will run another script at certains times of the day.
You see i have a script that can kick the source on a shoutcast server when i use a command, is there a script that can perform this command every few hours at pre set times that are easy 2 change ?

HELP PLZZZ

:D:D:D:D

Nick.

Use [bind time], this is an example:

Code: Select all

bind time - "00 00 *" perform:command

proc perform:command {min hour day mon year} {
 # do whatever
}

"00 00 *" means perform the command at time 00:00 any day, month and year. Read about it in Tcl-commands.doc.

bind to "00 *" and check for hour and weekday (refer 'clock format' and 'unixtime' in TCLCommands). Oh yes, the most important thing is using a boolan expression in an if construction. You dont have to know about TCL to create this, because this is the same since Basic (at least on C64).

You can also add several time binds calling the same proc.
