Try this instead: Code: On *:START: set.timer alias -l set.timer { .timer 14:00 1 1 go.off } alias -l go.off { commandhere \| .timer 1 1 set.timer } "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - Arthur C.

I would have thought if you merged that with this: /timer1 0 20 /ame is AWAY! Timer1 will repeat an all channel action every 20 seconds until you stop the timer. and get: /timerBED 00:00 0 1 /amsg [Auto-Msg] It's Midnight! then it should repeat at midnight, every midnight until you stop it hope this sort of helps!!

My solution would be the same to what Dana already gave out. afaik the "repetition" parameter is linked to the <interval> and not to the [time] parameter. gemeau50
