I have looked in the mIRC help file and I can't understand how to have them perform the same timer on a daily basis without having to quit and restart the server. Any help would be grealy appreciated.

You really need to read "/help /timers" over again.. hehe...

Here is an example that may help you....

Code:

 
; Say something on every hour, but don't use 24 timers....
alias on-the-hour {
  var %NextHour $calc($asctime(hh) + 1)
  set %NextHour $iif(%NextHour &gt; 23, 00, %NextHour) $+ :00
  var %Repetitions 1
  var %Delay 0
  ; First run, or called by a timer?
  if ($ctimer != $null) { 
    ; Do something here
  }
  ; Start timer for next hour, make if an offline (-o) timer
  .timerOnTheHour -o %NextHour %Repetitions %Delay on-the-hour
}

You might try setting the <repetitions> value to 0 (which means repeat indefinitely) and setting the <duration> value to 86400 (which is the number of seconds in 24 hours):

Code:


.timer 07:30 0 86400 msg #options 4Stock &amp; Option Market Open "Good Luck Fellow Traders"
.timer 13:45 0 86400 msg #options 4Last 15 mins of Trading
.timer 14:00 0 86400 msg #options 4Stock Market Closed "Afterhour Trading In Effect"
.timer 14:02 0 86400 msg #options 4Equity Option Market Closed
.timer 14:15 0 86400 msg #options 4Globex Market Closed
.timer 18:00 0 86400 msg #options 2After Hour Trading 4"Closed"
