Wait 30 minute for each run

[mantor 0]

Does Ubot have some timer function to let say after completed the script then it sit for an hour then re-start again (but the variables still remain in the memory from previous run).

 

Thanks,

You could either schedule the bot with some kind of scheduling software or just put in a delay of 1800 seconds (30 minutes) and then run the sub with your script!

To make even more random, one could do a delay with a random delay between 2,000 and 10,000 seconds - hmmmm. I'm liken it!

I am liking this solution for a particular project. Is there a Maximum/Ceiling number of seconds to keep in mind?

I haven't had any problems till 5000 secs I used once when playing with google.. So dont think there is a limit.. i guess...

Good to know.

 

I will probably do a timer within a timer.

I've created a timer sub that takes days,hours,min, and or seconds as input then after calculating the seconds needed it'll loop for that number of seconds.

 

Inside my loop however I set variable to display through a UI stat mon so I get a visual display of how many seconds I have to wait. And sharing is caring, so see attached.

 

Inputs are times as well as a message. Use "Resting %time%s..." to display "Resting 20s...", "Resting 19s..." in the #debug variable

 

That said, put this at the end of a loop and you'll have a visual countdown until the next iteration of your loop

 

PS If you rewrite the code, make sure all those seconds are "set local" to avoid conflicts in your code
