can a trigger respond to the time of day?
 
i log everything, and one thing i have found datamining my logs by last changed...or the date in the title...is that i play way to late at night and roll over from one day to the next, so my logs often contain more than one date. I would like to implement a trigger that sees that the time is midnight, closes out the old log and begins the new. my only problem is trigger on midnight. is there a ways to trigger specificically from that time of day? thanks all

It is possible, in fact, I have that very trigger.

#ALARM {0:00:00} {#LOG %concat(%sessionid, " ", %time(yyyy-mm-dd), " ", %time(hh), "00.txt")}

I also use the following:

#EVENT onConnect {#LOG %concat(%sessionid, " ", %time(yyyy-mm-dd), " ", %time(hh), "00.txt")}

This sometimes gives me multiple logs for a single day, but I find that preferable to not having a log because i wasnt logged in at midnight.

very nice, thank you. I personally prefer more logs to fewer. it is always handy to be able to go back and do some research
