If you set a timer for 8pm (20:00) in the following manner...
/timerTEST 20:00 1 1 echo -a This is a test
when 20:00 arrives, the timer continually spams the echo untill 20:01 - where it stops...

Can't reproduce here. It echo'ed once as expected.
Does this happen every time? Also have you checked you don't have an alias for /timer affecting it ( //echo -a $isalias(timer) )?
Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.

Sorry, Ghozer, but I can't replicate this behaviour either.
I even set my pc clock ahead to have it think that it was 20:00, as well as testing it with other times, just in case it was a fluke with the 20:00 time

the only thing I can imagine is that in the actual script you trigger another timer which is scheduled to run at 20:00 again which will trigger directly, untill 20:01 is reached when it's no longer valid and it will wait 24 hours before doing it again...
the above example will only trigger once
If it ain't broken, don't fix it!

The only way I see that it would do that is if you put 0 instead of 1 for the repetitions. Other than that, I don't see why it would do the same echo repeatedly.
Btw, 20:00 is 10:00pm, not 8:00pm.

thats a point actually... the script does have the timer re-activate (I want it every 8pm, so i added it at the bottom of the script that triggers) -- i set the delay to 120 seconds so  -- should be good now

Heh... You're right. I wasn't thinking. And I have to use 24h time at work. Oops.

you *could* also set a 60*60*24 second delay (one day in seconds) and infinite repititions so you would not need to reset it
after it's initial triggering.
