Invoked periodically
If you want to control at what to invoke this function next time
you can set the value of the global variable `wait_period` to the
number of seconds to wait before invoking this function again.
The value does not need to be an integer.
@param year:int The year
@param month:int The month, 1 = January, 12 = December
@param day:int The day, minimum value is 1, probable maximum value is 31 (*)
@param hour:int The hour, minimum value is 0, maximum value is 23
@param minute:int The minute, minimum value is 0, maximum value is 59
@param second:int The second, minimum value is 0, probable maximum value is 60 (**)
@param weekday:int The weekday, 1 = Monday, 7 = Sunday
@param fade:float? Blueshift can use this function to fade into a state when it start
or exits. `fade` can either be negative, zero or positive or `None`,
but the magnitude of value cannot exceed 1. When Blueshift starts,
this function will be invoked multiple with the time parameters
of the time it is invoked and each time `fade` will increase towards
1, starting at 0, when the value is 1, the settings should be applied
to 100 %. After this this function will be invoked once again with
`fade` being `None`. When Blueshift exits the same behaviour is used
except, `fade` decrease towards -1 but start slightly below 0, when
-1 is reached all settings should be normal. Then Blueshift will NOT
invoke this function with `fade` being `None`, instead it will by
itself revert all settings and quit.
(*) Can be exceeded if the calendar system is changed, like in 1712-(02)Feb-30
