Variable_add

To add a custom variable to MistServer you'll need to pass an object with the information. A static variable only needs a value, while a dynamic variable would need at least a target.

To learn the difference between static and dynamic variables please look up the variables explanation.

There's multiple ways to add a variable:

Object needs at least a name and either a target or a value:

{
  "variable_add":{
    "name":"test",            //mandatory variable name
    "target":"echo -n test",  //optional command or url to execute
    "interval":9,             //optional how often the command/url should be re-evaluated in seconds
    "waitTime":1,             //optional maximum time to wait for evaluation of the command/url to complete in seconds
    "value":"value"           //optional starting value of the custom variable 
  }
}

Array form simple

{
  "variable_add":["name","value"]
}

Array form full

{
  "variable_add":[
    "name",          //name of the variable
    "target",        //command or url to execute
    interval,        //how often the command/url should be re-evaluated in seconds
    "value",         //optional starting value of the custom variable
    "waitTime"       //optional maximum time to wait for evaluation of the command/url to complete in seconds
  ]
}
