bind time, each quarter, (but hourly an extra command)

[DarkDeviL]

Hey!

As I said in the topic, I have it like:

Code: Select all

bind time - "0 * * * *" ac_quarter
bind time - "15 * * * *" ac_quarter
bind time - "30 * * * *" ac_quarter
bind time - "45* * * *" ac_quarter

proc ac_quarter {min hour day month year} {
  if {$min=="0"} {
    ac_check
    timer 1 ac_check2
  } else {
    ac_check 
 }
}

Hourly, I want to do the same as each quarter, but additional an extra command should be used too, is this impossible?

I tried with if {$min=="0"}, and if {!$min} {, no one of them works hourly.

But if I do '.tcl ac_quarter 0 <some more bullshit here>', it works fine..

Simply, it ignore the hourly change when doing it automatically..

It should use ac_check hourly, and one minute after ac_check2.

If I remove ALL of the if-then-else stuff, it works fine each quarter.

Someone who know what the problem is?

Try

Code: Select all

if {[string equal 00 $min]} {

[DarkDeviL]

Try

Code: Select all

if {[string equal 00 $min]} {

00 ?

Is it "00 * * * *" (zero twice) when the hour changes?

if, then it's the bind there's wrong?

True! good eye there DarkDevil, it should be 00 in the bind and it will work perfectly as it is (without using the line I gave you).

Isn't that a bug in the eggdrop then?

I just checked my crontab, in there the '0 * * * * <command>' works fine.

Not necessary a bug, it maybe takes it as a string 00 rather than a number. btw

Code: Select all

bind time - "00 * * * *" ac_quarter

can be reduced to

Code: Select all

bind time - "00 *" ac_quarter

since '*' matches everything (including spaces).

eggdrop has nothing to do with crontab, so requiring 00 is not a bug
