Eggy part from channel when restarting - how to prevent?

eggdrop parts from all channels, when restarting. (first part and then quit from irc)
does anybody know, how to prevent this? (script/source code change/...)

you cannot. either you rehash the bot without parting or you restart it from scratch.

no i can't belive this. in /src must be somewhere some restart procedure where is programed this parting from channels :/

if you remove the parting the bot will leave the channels with a quit message, do you like that? in a restart the bot will completly be reset, this includes (but is not limited to) closing all ports.

Code: Select all

.rehash

This was built into eggdrop so you can script and make code changes without making the bot leave all the channels and stay online. The only time you have to restart is if you need to remove any old binds that the bot has in its binds list or to close ports as De Kus mentioned above.

yes i want this. i want eggdrop simply quit from irc. why? iam trying to connect through psybnc and when eggdrop simply quit without parting, psybnc will stay on channel. dunno how it will be working, but first i need to disable this parting.

If you want your eggdrop to just quit type

Code: Select all

.die

sometimes i need restart (not rehash and not loggining to shell and starting eggdrop again)

is there any chance to run .die and immediatly exec botchk to run eggdrop again?

Theres no way to exec botchk immediately without a bash script looking for it to die. The fastest conventional way is to setup autobotchk (Crontab) to check it every minute. A minute is the smallest time limit allowed by crontab.

if you dont mind employing a tcl script, something like this would work

bind evnt - prerestart {clearqueue all;putquick QUIT;#}

you cannot start a bash srcipt after the bot died, but you could call a bash script, that sends the SIGTERM to the bot, waits a bit and maybe calls botchk every second until the pid file is recreated or something like that.

other way: you use putquick quit to the server, wait a utimer 1 and restart the bot.

Just out of interest why do you need the bot to quit and rejoin the bnc?

oh thanks,

Code: Select all

.tcl clearqueue all;putquick QUIT;restart;#

this works perfectly

why i need this? i want to have bot still online on channel (even when eggdrop is down, or restarting) so i use bouncer and that solves all my problems

if you bind it to the prerestart event a regular .restart is sufficient (incase you didnt get that

)
