Sure thing. At the beginning when I started out things were hard to find. you should find a file in your code directory or a sub-directory that has a name of ???_crons.pl I changed mine so the ??? is some other name, Probably time_crons. Anyway, at the top of the file is a a description of what you need. In the mh/docs/mh.html file is a description also of the time_cron format, I will include it here also. time_cron The cron time format matches the unix cron format. Cron Format: minutes hours day_of_month month day_of_week minutes: 0-59 hours: 0-23 dom: 1-31 (day of month) month: 1-12 dow: 0-6 (day of week 0=Sunday 6=Saturday) You can use a comma delimited list for any of these fields. * matches all values. Examples: # Speak time every 15 minutes, between 7 am and 8 am on weekdays only speak $Time_Now if time_cron '0,15,30,45 7,8 * * 1-5'; # Change PA speaker mode at 9 pm, every day pa_sleep_mode('kids', 1) if time_cron '* 21 * * * '; I hope that this helps.

They had set the minutes field to 60. |
