Alarm
|
I have an alarm that ticks every second to emulate basically the same function as %ctime.
#ALARM "ConnectTimer" -*:*:* {connect = %eval( (%time( d)*60*60*24)+(%time( h)*60*60)+(%time( n)*60)+%time( s))}
Yet it isn't working. Any idea why?

Illegal syntax. Instead of *:*:*, you'll want to use the modulus syntax (*1, for example, would fire every second).
If you're getting erroneous values, I suppose it's that monster you're trying to assign to @Connect. What's the purpose of all that multiplication?

The real question might be, "Why do you think you need to do this?" You can get the same value, whenever desired, from the %eval you are already using. It's hard to see much value in computing it every second. This isn't connect time anyway, it's just the number of elapsed seconds in the month.
