A way to schedule jobs (commands or scripts) to run periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals.

 

Thanks

What you want to run? Give some more detail info or examples. I understand you are asking for cron but on what specific area you are planning to use it. 

[alex]

exemple, could be added in shrubbot.cfg

 

[cron]

when = every sunday 8pm

exec = !pistolwar on; bot maxbot -1; exec pistolwarcycle.cfg

 

[cron]

when = every monday 1am

exec = !pistolwar off; bot maxbot 10; exec objectivecycle.cfg

 

[cron]

when = every 120 s

exec = !spec999

 

[cron]

When = 1-1-2016

exec = say HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

 

[cron]

when = every month

exec = dboptimize

 

[cron]

when = every year

exec = dbcleanup

 

Things like that!

You could do this with lua.

Seems cool when you know lua :/

Yes indeed a lot of things can be accomplished with lua.

That is why it is in the mod so servers can add their own features and customize them to their exact needs.

Someone may be willing to make one for you or I may give it a go when I get bored.

 

Or you could learn lua, it is very easy compared to most other languages, especially if you already know some other languages.
