Server Crontab v2.0.0.0

About the plugin:
Run server jobs at certain Minutes, Hours, Days of the Week and Days of the Month. Admins will need the ROOT access flag to Add, Remove or View Cronjobs. To get a better idea of what cronjobs are, check out the official Wikipedia article here

The actual plugin won't compile directly on the forums because of custom natives. Full source is included in the download.

Have fun, dubbeh :)

Re: Basic Server Crontab
 

Another ace addition!

I was looking at the chron one and decided it was a little OTT, this looks perfect. Will be giving this a bash tomorrow.

BTW really dumb question, does this execute on every map change? As in your example you have used the plugin to change the mapcyclefile, would you remove the mapcyclefile reference from the server.cfg file or just leave it be???

Great job :]

Re: Basic Server Crontab
 

thx pimpinjuice :)

MoggieX this runs the selected config/setting at the specified time in the jobs.ini - recommend to remove the settings you'll be changing from the server.cfg. so it doesn't get reset at every map change :)

next release will include checking that the job.ini settings are in valid ranges & allow the hour option to have a wildcard

Re: Basic Server Crontab
 

Could you add a roundend / roundstart feature? Not really a cronjob, but would be usefull for several functions.

Re: Basic Server Crontab
 

Thanx for filling my request :) When I have some time im gonna test it :)

Re: Basic Server Crontab
 

dubbeh wouldn't it be nice if plugins could register cron jobs for their own use?


If you don't know how, I can help you

Re: Basic Server Crontab

Re: Basic Server Crontab
 

I'll get something like that added in a later version, got a few ideas for the internal structure that will allow jobs like that to be set

@nican nice idea. I could add some stocks RegisterCronJob then return the job index for removal later on & UnregisterCronJob using the job index. I'll have a look into it. Also planning on using the adt array for an unlimited number of jobs soon ;)

Re: Basic Server Crontab
 

Yay!

If you need help, created the natives, using adt_array, just PM me...
