timed reconnect - is it possible ?
 
what i'd like to do is set a certain char to login to the mud every hour, run a small script and then log out.

is this possible? to reset the reconnection interval in zmud to some other time by specific char name ? right now it looks to be set at 10 seconds.

Set the Character up to Auto-Login.
Start your script.
When the script is done #DISCONNECT and set up an #ALARM to #CONNECT each hour.

So send the appropiate 'quit' command instead.

At x time Alarms continue to run even when disconnected

#ALARM "reconnecter" {1:00} {
#CONN
Log in stuff here
commands to do here
quit command here
#DISCON
}

You will also need a way to turn it on and off when you want to play
#ALIAS atconnect {#t- reconnecter}
#ALIAS atdisconnect {#t+ reconnecter}
