Cron-like realtime scheduled actions

[RiCkYB_667]

Hi everyone!

I was doing my research but unfortunately it seems i missed something or there is no real solution yet. Unless there is a plugin or something that i missed.

This is what i would like to achieve:

Category: schedule, timing, cron, etc.

Suggested name: skron (?)

What I want:
I would like to be able to run scripts at a certain time. For example run at 06:00 in the morning every day, or at 19:00 on fridays. Meaning real time, NOT minecraft time!

Ideas for commands: at realtime %time% [every (day|monday|tuesday|etc... ] ? I don't know how to format this, but i guess you get the idea

Ideas for permissions: retinal scanner ? probably not...

When I'd like it by: Anytime anyone has a chance to get a look into it

I had a plugin called MCCron, but i would like to eliminate all plugins i can replace with Skript. Also i did it with the cron on the linux server sending commands to screen, but it still not very effective and easy to update configurationwise.

Thanks!

There's a format request that you have to use.

on load:
    while true is true:
        if time in timezone "GMT" is "whatever":
            #do stuff
        wait 1 second

TIMEZONE!

Unbelievable! Thank you! Will implement right away!

Oh and the keepalive loop is also a great idea, thank you!
[doublepost=1519636719,1519633516][/doublepost]Okay, so since my format of time is DD/MM/YY HH:MM i had to extract the time only and run the evaluation on that.
This way i can do daily triggers setting only the time, and making them run once when time triggers.

This is what i came up with, please do tell me if there is anything else, or a simple way!

on load:
    set {_cronran::*} to 0
    while true is true:
        set {_realtimenow} to time in timezone "GMT+1"
      
        # --- Cron 01 ---
        if subtext of {_realtimenow} from characters 10 to (the length of {_realtimenow}) is "06:00":
            if {_cronran::01} is 0:
                set {_cronran::01} to 1
                # Do Stuff
        else:
            set {_cronran::01} to 0
      
        # --- Cron 02 ---
        if subtext of {_realtimenow} from characters 10 to (the length of {_realtimenow}) is "18:00":
            if {_cronran::02} is 0:
                set {_cronran::02} to 1
                # Do Something Else
        else:
            set {_cronran::02} to 0

        # --- End ---
        wait 10 seconds

I am also trying to figure out weekly runs and other methods. Might have to use time variables...
