Forums Scripts & Popups /timer -o

I have seen somewhere the use on the command /timer -o to trigger a certain event the same time every day, but I can't seem to find anything in the help files about how the -o works. Could someone give me some syntax and other little details about how -o works? Thanks

From the help file:
'If you are not connected to a server and you start a timer, it defaults to being an offline timer which means it will continue to run whether you are connected to a server or not.

If you are connected to a server and you start a timer, it defaults to being an online timer, which means that if you disconnect from the server, it will be turned off. You can specify the -o switch to force it to be an offline timer.'

That's right, I should have remebered that. Then what if any is the way to get an event to go the same time every day?

timerName 0 59 if ( $!time(HH:nn) == XX:XX ) { COMMANDS }

I already have something simular to that ...

/timerauto 0 300 auto

... and ...

/auto {
if ( $time(H) < 6 ) %auto = 60
elseif ( $time(H) > 6 ) && ( $time(H) < 17 ) && ( $time(ddd) != Sat ) && ( $time(ddd) != Sun ) %auto = 60
else %auto = 30
}

... I just though I saw something one time that all that could be done differently like ...

/.timerauto1 -x 0 0600 %auto = 30

... would trigger a command at 0600 or 6:00 AM everyday no matter what time the timer was started. If there's no such command that's OK. I just thought I saw it one time before.

timerDaily 05:59 1 60 /MyAlias

alias MyAlias {
<my commands here>
timerDaily 05:59 1 60 /MyAlias
}

(the delay of 60 seconds is so that you don't automatically retrigger when you run the alias - perhaps the more experienced here can advise if this is necessary)

is one option or ...

timerDaily 06:00 0 $calc(60*60*24) /YourCommand

is another option (the $calc is there just to demonstrate the number of seconds in a 24 hour period).

Cheers,
