intervals, and also to specify a command to be executed later.</p><p>Timers have to mandatory attributes: an
<em class="replaceable"><code>interval</code></em> in seconds, that represents how
often the timer is fired, and an <em class="replaceable"><code>action</code></em>,
that is the command that is executed. Just like in other places, the
action can be a text that is sent to the MUD, or it can be something
run with Perl.</p><p>It is possible to define timers that execute only a fixed number
of times. This is the timer's <em class="replaceable"><code>repeat count</code></em>.
Whenever the timer is executed, this count is decreased, and when it
reaches zero, the timer is disabled, and will only execute again if
reenabled manually. A timer can also be temporary: in this case, when
the repeat count reaches zero, it is deleted and not only
disabled. A repeat count of -1 means that the timer is executed
indefinitely.</p><p>A timer with a repeat count of one is executed only once. Since
the first execution only happens <em class="replaceable"><code>interval</code></em>
seconds after it is defined, this allows you to define a command to be
executed after some specified time. If it is marked as temporary, the
timer will be deleted after it is run this one time.</p></section><footer><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table style="width: 100%; "><tr><td style="width: 40%; text-align: left; "><a accesskey="p" href="sec_macro_cmdline.xhtml">Prev</a> </td><td style="width: 20%; text-align: center; "><a accesskey="u" href="pt01.xhtml">Up</a></td><td style="width: 40%; text-align: right; "> <a accesskey="n" href="ch11s01.xhtml">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td style="width: 40%; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; ">10.2.
