Hi,
I have 2 eggdrops EggA and EggB.
EggA is on server One
EggB is on server Two
EggB is setting a channel limit to prevent floods. But suddenly server One splits from server Two.
When both servers reconnect... EggA sees 50 users on the channel but EggB sees 40 users on the channel.
So, since EggB is setting limit +5 is will limit the channel to 45 users and so it will set a very low limit preventing anyone on server One from joining !
Interestingly enough, I can solve this if I type on EggB's partyline: .reset #channelname
But if I don't reset manually, the EggB might take like 10 minutes to automatically synchronize its information and start setting the right limit again.
Is there a way to make an eggdrop update it's channel information quickly ? Like a person using mIRC does as soon as a netsplit rejoins ?
Thanks

netsplits and channel limiting
No offense SirFz but your answers are most of the time out of subject.
To explain myself I quote
I am not talking about users who rejoined on a split rejoin between both servers.
Sorry if I was rude but I think you should read the questions carefully, evaluate, assess then try to come up with a useful answer.
No hard feelings !
To explain myself I quote
Man what on earth are you talking about ??? I am referring to users who just connected to irc a few seconds ago (server One) and are trying to join the channel.SirFz said : also the limit won't prevent the users from the other server from joining the channel because they already are in it but on the other server.
I am not talking about users who rejoined on a split rejoin between both servers.
I am using Slennox's script !SirFz said : anyway, use Slennox's chanlimit.tcl its pretty efficiant during netsplits.

if the limit is low then neither users on server 1 or 2 will be able to join (when not splitted) not just users from server 1, so what you meant is what I said you meant.. anyway, it looks like lag.. usually the server splits when it lags.
Yes I know what I said:
I hope that after making this clarification, someone will be able to help me find a solution to making the bot refresh channel information automatically without having to type .reset #channel
I didn't say "preventing users who got split on server One from joining !"since EggB is setting limit +5 is will limit the channel to 45 users and so it will set a very low limit preventing anyone on server One from joining !

I have the same problem,
4 bots on different servers all setting limits.
i have thought about it, but i have not come up
with a good solution .... i could use some
help on this too.
a "temp" fix, might be to
make a proc that detected a net-split, and then
it would ".reset #channelname" from the proc..

Sir_Fz, nope. Decreasing the timer to check for limits has nothing to do with that at all. If the bot sees a different number of users from another bot (on another server) then it will always set a low limit (whether it does it every 1 minute or every 3 minutes). The calculated limit will always be too low!
Besides, setting a very low timer "defeats the purpose of channel limiting" (as Slennox points out in his Documentation for netbots).
Dedan, good point. I think the procedure should be called on netsplit rejoin (if not on both split and rejoin) since this is when the limit could get stuck to a low value.

you might create a quit and a join bind and a global varible to check if netsplit is aktiv. so you can lappend all netsplit quits to a list and delete them on join. If half of parted users are back the netsplit is decalred as over and list is reset after 30min to delete oldtimers. This varible might be used in any other scripts. But Im just to lazy to script one 
.
If you count the list entrys you may also calc the real users on channel.
PS: There is a special bind for split and rejoin! *blush*
