jadewith jadewith Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-06-13 Posts: 45 Loc: Good ole U S of A	I know that my title may seem a bit deceiving but this is not a starters question. I currently have a script that runs on a dedicated W2k box using kixtart 4.20. Basically, it goes to 2 websites and clicks the update button on each. I want to run this script 24/7. Which will work, I have tested this and it is fine. My problem is that I would also like to click the update button of a third site, but this site can only be updated twice an hour between 9a-5p and then 4 times total between 5p-11:50p. For a complete total of 20 times, but only on the third site.

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Why a variable ? For me this indicates a @time conditional if-endif thing .... May be wrong though, any code to share ? [edit: oh yeah, twice an hour, I see the need for that flag variable now, still, can you post code to build on?] Edited by Jochen (2004-12-16 10:00 AM) _________________________

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	not sure about that approach... can do, ofcourse. I just don't get it what is hard in simple thing like (remember, this was said not to be starter question): Code: "looping" do $hour=left(@time,2) select case kbhit quit case 8<$hour and 17>$hour $sleepy=30 ;execute the checker case 17<$hour and 24>$hour $sleepy=60 ;execute the checker endselect sleep 60*$sleepy until 1=0 or then I read the thing wrong... _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	oh and, saying update runs 24/7 must be kidding. if you really go on and loop 24/7 as much as your script can take, all the time peaking the cpu, you are actually dDoSing that webpage machine. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

try this, needs the UDF FlipcTime()

Code:


$24h = flipctime(@date,"00:00:00"),flipctime(@date,"00:00:00")+86400
$9a = $24h[0]+32400
$5p = $24h[0]+61200
$1150p = $24h[0]+85800


while 1
	select
		case flipctime(@date,@time) > $9a AND flipctime(@date,@time) < $5p
			;this time period if for operations between 9am and 5pm

		case flipctime(@date,@time) > $5p and flipctime(@date,@time) < $1150p
			;this time period is between 5pm and 11:50pm


		case flipctime(@date,@time) > $24h[1]
			;this will reset all time variables to equal the new days values.
			$24h = flipctime(@date,"00:00:00"),flipctime(@date,"00:00:00")+86400
			$9a = $24h[0]+32400
			$5p = $24h[0]+61200
			$1150p = $24h[0]+85800
	endselect
	
loop
