💖 Name 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to the Gromox admin reference page for timer_agent(4gx)! This is literally the Client for timer(8gx) — and yes, it's giving "small service, big main character energy" 💅✨

🦋 Description 🦋

timer_agent connects to a remote timer(8gx) daemon and locally installs two service functions: add_timer and cancel_timer. Use add_timer to set up a job for later execution, and use cancel_timer to rescind one — respectively, bestie, they're a matched set, periodt. 🎀

In practice, this is used by exchange_emsmdb(4gx) and zcore(8gx) to implement delayed sending of messages. Lowkey iconic. 🔥

🛠️ Configuration directives 🛠️

The usual config file location is /etc/gromox/timer_agent.cfg. Keep that path in mind, bestie — it's the vibe check spot for config. 🌸

  • connection_num — number of connections to keep active. Default: 8.
  • timer_host — the hostname/IP address for contacting the timer daemon. Default: ::1.
  • timer_port — the TCP port number for contacting the timer daemon. Default: 6666.
