Plugin to run commands weekly?

I need a plugin like this:
http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/timed-commands/

but one where I can pick the day it runs to.
Something like this: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/in-time/
but I can't get that to work.

Anyone know of any plugins?
Thanks.

 

You can use a cron job to execute a command in screen, assuming you use it. I've not managed it successfully but I know it can be done.

 

Didn't even think about that, I'l look into it.

Thanks!

 

Okay, here's you do it. Create a shell script in your MC directory with these contents,

Code:

#!/bin/sh
screen -x 1052 -X stuff "your command goes here"`printf "\r"`;

We'll assume the file is named command.sh

Then you'll need to make a cron entry like so,

Code:

0 0 * * 6 /path/to/mc/command.sh

That'll run the script every Saturday.
"1052" is just my screen ID, you'll have to edit that to your own. Or you can start screen using -S name to give it a unique name.

Tested on my server and working just fine.

What's up with the time though? How does 0 0 * * 6 resemble it to run every Saturday, and what time?

 

My bad, it should be be * * * * 6
That'll run the script at any hour and minute on Saturday.
If you want to be more specific, 10 22 * * 6
That will run the script at 10:10pm every Saturday. * means any
Format is <minute> <hour> <day> <month> <weekday>
