How does one go about executingã > timed events?ããIn Synchronet, the term "timed events" means programs/modules/scripts that the ãsysops has configured in SCFG->External Programs->Timed Events. I assum you ãmean something else. Perhaps you want a background thread which executes a JS ãfunction at a predefined interval? One way to do that would be to use a ãbackground load() of another JS file which contain's that function which ãsleeps() between intervals.ãã > Secondly, is there a standard way for SBBS apps (doors, utils andã > other things) to store arbitrary data in a database style format?ã > I cannot find anything in the API documentation that looks likeã > it's supported.ã >ã > If there isn't... what are other people using for their persistentã > data stores for extensions to and doors for SBBS?ããini files (using the Synchronet File class) is one method (see binarydecoder.js ãfor an example), json files is another method (see exec/load/json-db.js and ãfriends for a helpful library). One sysop had a patch which added support for ãsqlite to Synchronet, but I'm not aware of any apps (doors, utils, etc.) which ãuse it (yet).ãã digital manããSynchronet "Real Fact" #81:ãFlapuebarg unf vagreany ebg13 fhccbeg sbe fhcresvpvnyyl rapelcgvat grkg.ãNorco, CA WX: 72.8øF, 45.0% humidity, 2 mph NNW wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

More info is available in the comments at the top of event-timer.js,ãbut here's a rough example of how to use it:ããload("event-timer.js"); // Loads the libraryãvar t = new Timer(); // Instantiates a timer for your scriptãã// Add an event to your timer:ãt.addEvent(30000, true, console.print("LOLDONGS"));ãã/* As your script loops, you'll need to cycle the timer to have it run anyã pending events. */ãwhile(stuff is happening) {ã timer.cycle();ã}ããechickenãelectronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.com - 416-273-7230ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ electronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.comã

setTimeout is not defined?

JSON.jsãshould work fine for serialization/deserialization.ãã > If there isn't... what are other people using for their persistentã > data stores for extensions to and doors for SBBS?ããgenerally people are using text configs, serializing json, doing somethingãcustom, or shoe-horning in a database client driver...
