Even on non-blocking mode it still hangs and uses 100% cpu when the java prog is dead

I'm trying to test for the java prog exiting unexpetidly cause what happens is, the java prog dies then @ the next call to gets it's probably reading -1 or something and it hangs, cpu hits 100% and has to be killed. Is the only way round this to build my own gets proc and reload the java prog when i...

Ha, ok, so it should be "pid $pipe" not [pid $pipe] and it works now but it still returns the PID even if the stream is closed, so does anyone know a working method please?

hmmz, ok no i didn't, the problem still stands, cause catch is always returning 1.

Ok, i've fixed this now by doing the following check: If it's != "0" then there was an err (eg, $pipe doesn't exist anymore) and I can restart the java prog.

I think if you just put the init code straight into a tcl script file, not in a proc then it will be run when the script is loaded, which it will be when the bot is started.

Is there a way I can check whether the pipe to my java prog is still open?

Yeah, it wants your "handle", your username basically. When you msg it saying hello it says something like "I will know u as..." and the bit after as is ur handle unless you change it. I didn't realise you needed that in the config file.

k, i take it ur talking about "set owner <owner>"? I'll set that to my handle right? I'll try it anyway :p

.chanset #ms.ut.priv need-key ##### Due to security concerns, only permanent owners can set these modes. I am the only person in the bots user file, apart from Q and L who have can-flood flags. I was the first to say hello etc... why am I not a permanent and what is a permanent owner? It's not asif ...

:s well i just tried: if {[string match -nocase $channel "#\[ms\]"]} { putquick "PRIVMSG $channel :Test(1)" } if {[string match -nocase $channel "#\[ms]"]} { putquick "PRIVMSG $channel :Test(2)" } and neither appeared in the channel. :/ The compare thing works...

Isn't "#\[ms\]" excaping the []?

Doesn't escaping (eg, '\[') get round that? And if not, do you or anyone else know how i can get round it?

i've tried it with other channels there too, but it only failes on #[ms] :/

I just don't get it. I've spent the best part of 2 hours fiddling with this and I just can't see why it's not working. If I join our clan channel, #[ms], the following, which is in a proc that's bound to 'join' (and i know it works), results in false if {[string match -nocase $channel "#\[ms\]&...
