We have a java-based timer on our clan board. telling people when to meet in the irc. that has to be reset manually everyday...

we set it to the same time each day, but just change the date 1 day ahead....

is there an easy way to implement an auto-resetting of this?

i suppose your going to need the code....

<APPLET height=30 alt="Countdown Clock" width=160 code="jmc.class">

<PARAM NAME="target" VALUE="29 Oct 2002 18:00:00 GMT">

<PARAM NAME="endImage" VALUE="endImage.jpg">
<PARAM NAME="bgImage" VALUE="bgImage.jpg">
You need Java to see this applet!</APPLET>

i'd appreciate any help :rambo:

Check with your host to see if you have a "Cron Tab" ;)

Actually, it could easily be done without crontab...

Dolamite, what do you want it to do when the time is 18:00? Should it go to the next day (while the chat is in progress) or stay at that time until 19:00?
