Re: [exim] way to delay by time of day?

[OpenMacNews]

hi christian,

i'd thought of this, but failed to find conditions for date/time checks in
exim ...

did i miss them?

specific time checks are not available IIRC.

You could extract date/time details from $tod_full using extract
or sg:

        ${extract{1}{,}{$tod_full}}

should give you the day of week used in an condition.
Please see http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.50/doc/html/spec_11.html
for details.

i'd just found this myself a little while ago.  thx for confirming!



but your ${extract suggestion/reference should do just fine.

cheers,

richard

i also found the $tod_* vars, and am surprised that there are *not* simple var equivalents for year/month/day/date/hour/min/sec. i'd have thought those were the basic building blocks ...
