how can i use zmud to perform some command at a time interval say every 5 minutes. and can i make it just hit enter instead of making an actual command, just so i can get my prompt up every 5 minutes without moving or casting something? im using version 5.55

could you tell me what the %crlf means in your alarm above.

Also how could i make the *5 a random number between say 1 and 200 ?

That would be every 5 seconds, which is a bit of overkill. For once every 5 minutes, try this. For a random time, use the %random function in the time field.
#ALA *5:00 {#CR}

No, what you'll need is one-time alarms with the random numbers. But since you want something fancy instead of something basic I'm going to allow you to figure out the actual script you'll need.

Thanks LightBulb,

I am a bit stupid when it comes to progging so maybe someone else would like to help me make the time interval a random number?

PS. what does the CR and the CLRF mean in the above alarms

Go to the support forum and bring up the online help files. From there choose 'search' and enter cr. Once you've figured that one out search for crlf.

Since the entries just tell you what they do instead of what they stand for, it's carriage return and carriage return line feed. Old typewriter terms.

Random numbers in Alarms requires a complex code, towards this end I will direct you to read the forums, you might only have to go back a little, and there is a nifty search function.
