Is it possible to turn timers off from the command line? Following on from that, is is then possible to create an alias to turn it on and off? Also, if I wanted to change a variable within the timer, could I make that doable from the command line?

Say for example, I was getting something
get ore
If I wanted to stop collecting, I'd want to hit that alias. Hit another alias, it would start up again. I might want to start collecting pebbles too, so I'd want to change the variable currently containing ore.

I would use EnableTimer. See the link, by changing the second argument from true to false you can enable or disable a timer by name.

So make an alias that does "send to script" to enable/disable the timer.
