Schedule

Command words: schedule
Permission: Admin

The schedule command is used to create schedules that execute progs at a recurring interval of in-character time.

The syntax to use this command is as follows:

schedule add <prog> "every <interval>" [<datetime>] - adds a schedule
schedule remove <id> - removes a schedule

The interval will be text in one of the following formats:

every <x> minutes
every <x> hours
every <x> days
every <x> weekdays
every <x> weeks
every <x> months
every <x> years

Note that these are in-game time periods, not real life time periods. You should take note of your MUD Time to Real Time Ratio.

The datetime argument will be in the following format:

[timezone] day/month/year hour:minute:second [meridian]

The arguments timezone and meridian are optional. Note that month must be the name of the month not the number (e.g. May not 5)

For example:

15/january/1972 11:32:00 am
5/martius/552 18:00:00

If no datetime argument is supplied with the schedule add command, the current location's time and date will be used.
