Manual:Verbot Player Using the Scheduler
From VerbotWiki
The Verbot Scheduler works a lot like the unix cron (http://www.unixgeeks.org/security/newbie/unix/cron-1.html) program. You create a file with one scheduled event per line, and load it into your Verbot 4 Player (as of version 4.0.6.0).
Each event line defines the time for the event to run, and what input to send to the Verbot Engine when the event fires. There are 5 fields per line:
minute - minute of the hour
hour - hour of the day (24 hour clock)
dom - day of month (1 - 31)
month - month of year (1 - 12)
dow - day of week (0 - 7)
text - text to send
Any of the first 4 fields (the ones that specify the timing) can have a * in them to indicate "any time" for that field.
Here's a sample line:
01 * * * * _1st_min
Here the first field "minute" is set to 01, and all of the other timing fields are set to "any", so this event will fire on the first minute of ever hour, day, month, etc...
Basically at 1:01, 2:01, 3:01, etc... When it fires, it will send the text "_1st_min" into the engine as if the user had typed it. This text could really be anything that fits on one line.
Here are some more sample event lines:
17 8 * * * _0817
17 20 * * * _2017
00 4 * * 0 _0400Sun
42 4 1 * * _0442_1st
01 * 19 07 * _hourly_19th_July
And here's what they would do:
1st would run at 8:17 am every day.
2nd would run at 6:17 pm every day.
3rd would run at 4:00 am every Sunday.
4th would run at 4:42 am on the first day of every month.
5th would run the first min. of every hour on the 19th day of July (7th month).
To make a schedule file, just open up your favorite text editor (notepad will work just fine) and type in one event per line. Save the file as filename.txt in your My Documents\Verbot4 directory.
To select a Schedule file in the Verbot 4 Player, go to Edit->Options; switch to the Timers tab; and use the Browse button to find your file.
I suggest that you create a KnowledgeBase for storing your set of rules that are triggered by the Scheduler to make them easier to find.
