Is there a way to have this script update more often or is that totally dependent on Adium? It seems like it is random when it updates and often takes more than 5 minutes to update. I'm using Adium 1.5 and OS 10.7.4

Sorry posted too soon remove the minutes at the end since that already gets added by the countdown script and is just redundant in the message.

You can change the mess and also "go online" to "go away" which would make more sense with the current message posted.

Here is an AppleScript I wrote to work with this


set addTime to 25

on getTimeInHoursAndMinutes(aDate)
set ts to time string of aDate

set hm to text 1 thru word 2 of ts
if ((count ts's words) is 4) then set hm to hm & space & word 4 of ts

return hm
end getTimeInHoursAndMinutes

set myBreak to (my getTimeInHoursAndMinutes((current date) + addTime * minutes))

tell application "Adium" to go online with message "Back @ " & myBreak & " in %_countdown{" & myBreak & "} minutes"
