a crontab script request

[Football]

I`m using pisg stats and using a crontab that updates the stats at 00:00 every day, I was wondering if someone could write a script that I will run at 00:01 that will announce on a room called #football that the stats were updated and write the link to the stats; www.EPLonline.co.uk/chanstats/football.html I hope thats possible and if not what should I do instead?

Help please.

just change the bind time to what you want

currently every 1min if you leave it, but i cant tell you everything

Code: Select all

set the_chan "#football"

bind time -|- "* * * * *" football

proc football {min hour day month year} { 
   putlog "football timer active"
   puthelp "PRIVMSG $the_chan :STATS UPDATE: www.EPLonline.co.uk/chanstats/football.html"  
}

putlog "football_stats loaded!"

hope this helps...

So should I load that script? or just put it in the eggs directory an add a crontab to run it at 00 01 ?

[doggo]

just change the time bind to suit

Code: Select all

"* * * * *"

and add the line

Code: Select all

source wherever/watever.tcl

and rehash yr bot

[Football]

set the_chan "#EPL"

bind time -|- "*00 01 * * *" EPL

proc football {min hour day month year} {
putlog "football timer active"
puthelp "PRIVMSG $the_chan :STATS UPDATED: www.EPLonline.co.uk/chanstats/stats.html"
}

putlog "football_stats loaded!"


thats the script

and on eggdrop.conf;

source scripts/statsupdate.tcl

that'll work right?

[doggo]

Code: Select all

proc football

needs changing to...

Code: Select all

proc EPL

but yeah should do.....

[Football]

that script doesn't seem to work. try it.

You've got a problem with variable context: you define the_chan in a global context, yet try to read it as a local variable within EPL..
Either use the global command to link the two, or use full namepath addressing when reading the variable ($::the_chan instead of $the_chan).

A third option would be to skip the variable alltogether, and hardcode the channelname into the proc.

So how should the script look?

[nml375]

Code: Select all

set the_chan "#EPL"

bind time - "00 01 *" EPL

proc EPL {min hour day month year} {
  putlog "football timer active"
  puthelp "PRIVMSG $::the_chan :STATS UPDATED: www.EPLonline.co.uk/chanstats/stats.html"
}

Or

Code: Select all

bind time - "00 01 *" EPL

proc EPL {min hour day month year} {
  putlog "football timer active"
  puthelp "PRIVMSG #EPL :STATS UPDATED: www.EPLonline.co.uk/chanstats/stats.html"
}

[Football]

Code:
set the_chan "#EPL"

bind time - "00 01 *" EPL

proc EPL {min hour day month year} {
putlog "football timer active"
puthelp "PRIVMSG $::the_chan :STATS UPDATED: www.EPLonline.co.uk/chanstats/stats.html"
}

Or
Code:
bind time - "00 01 *" EPL

proc EPL {min hour day month year} {
putlog "football timer active"
puthelp "PRIVMSG #EPL :STATS UPDATED: www.EPLonline.co.uk/chanstats/stats.html"
}

Hey nml375,

Thanks for the reply.

Have you tested those scripts?

I`ve tried them, they don't seem to work either.

oops forgot about the :: for variables

Code: Select all

set the_chan "#fr3ddy" 

bind pub - -footie EPL

bind time - "* * * * *" EPL 

proc EPL {min hour day month year} { 
putlog "football timer active" 
puthelp "PRIVMSG $::the_chan :STATS UPDATED: www.EPLonline.co.uk/chanstats/stats.html" 
} 

i added a -footie trigger for testing and set the timer for every minuite after working fine here.....

on the channel announces on -footie and every one min

Code: Select all

[10:26am] <doggo> -footie
[10:27am] <fr3ddy> STATS UPDATED: www.EPLonline.co.uk/chanstats/stats.html
[10:27am] <fr3ddy> STATS UPDATED: www.EPLonline.co.uk/chanstats/stats.html
[10:28am] <fr3ddy> STATS UPDATED: www.EPLonline.co.uk/chanstats/stats.html
[10:29am] <fr3ddy> STATS UPDATED: www.EPLonline.co.uk/chanstats/stats.html
[10:30am] <fr3ddy> STATS UPDATED: www.EPLonline.co.uk/chanstats/stats.html

and on the partyline

Code: Select all

[10:26am] <fr3ddy> [10:28] football timer active
[10:27am] <fr3ddy> [10:29] football timer active
[10:28am] <fr3ddy> [10:30] football timer active
[10:29am] <fr3ddy> [10:31] football timer active
[10:30am] <fr3ddy> [10:32] football timer active

and wouldnt the time bind be

Code: Select all

"01 00 * * *"

for 00:01 ?

[Football]

But does it work for you with the bind time?

I mean set it to a certain time and see if that works, so far it hasn't worked for me.

[nml375]

Doggo, you're quite right. Must've read the request as 1am

Football, do you get any error messages logged? Given the issue with the malformed mask, did you get any output at 1am instead (notice, errors, or other)?

[game_over]

Code: Select all

set ::the_chan "#fr3ddy"
