Big problem with timer

Hi

i start a timer in my .tcl script by:

timer 10 refresh_keys

but it seems that the timer gets disabled randomly. Is there any known problem with the timers?
Or do i have to re-set the timer after every run?

I can upload the whole script if you want that.

eggdrop timers only run once, so yea you have to restart it after every run.

and what for

Code: Select all

bind timer - ?5* update_keys

?

Is it correct that this will execure "update_keys" every 10 minutes?
(01:05 01:15 01:25 01:35 ....)

nope

Code: Select all

bind time - "?5 % % % %" update_keys

no need for such a verbose mask... "?5*" is fine - the error was with the bind type ("timer"!="time")
