Greetings Martin,
although I've been using twitterdub for the last what seems like 3 years
I've always manually started each action such as follow unfollow.
I've gotten to the point where I'm finally delving deeper into the software so I just wanted to check to better automate the process.
Current Settings
Repeat hours#=2
Repeat #times=12
Max repeat daily=Not Set
Is this setting the equivalent of running an action every 2 hours for 12 days?
As it's been running for over 2 days so far.
If I wanted to run the action for 7 days and then stop
Would it be
Repeat Hours#=2
Repeat #times =7
Max repeat daily=12
I'm assuming if you don't input a value in max repeat daily, that the value will be inactive and the action will only take action off of the values set?
Thank you for you hep Martin

your action will repeat every 2 hours. After it has repeated 12 times, the action will NO longer repeat.
depending on how long the action runs for, it will be stopping soonAs it's been running for over 2 days so far.
this doesn't make sense.If I wanted to run the action for 7 days and then stop
Would it be
Repeat Hours#=2
Repeat #times =7
Max repeat daily=12
After 7 repeats STOP repeating
and do a max of 12 repeats a day.
The 12 repeats a day will never kick in, as the total repeats before stop value is going to stop the repeats before.
I think you are confusing the #repeats as if you had set repeat_every:24 hours.
If you don't put a value, the program will just just keep repeating throughout the day.I'm assuming if you don't input a value in max repeat daily, that the value will be inactive and the action will only take action off of the values set?
Thank you for you hep Martin
For example, lets consider:
repeat every hour: 1
daily repeats: 4
total repeats: 40
Day1:
action runs: 8.00
repeats
action runs: 9.00
repeats
action runs: 10.00
repeats
action runs: 11.00
We have now repeated 4 times so cannot repeat any more today, set next run for tomorrow:
day1:
action runs: 00:00
repeats:
action runs: 01:00
repeats:
action runs: 02:00
repeats:
action runs: 03:00
4 repeats today complete, wait until tomorrow.
....
Day10:
action runs: 00:00
repeats:
action runs: 01:00
repeats:
action runs: 02:00
repeats:
action runs: 03:00
40 total repeats completed, stop action repeating
