Socket errors ...

]Godlike[ · Post by **]Godlike[** » Sun May 08, 2005 2:46 am

I use eggdrop to connect to ftp and display some info about it, but after a day or so he wont connect to it anymore, i get this on the partyline:

error writing "sock27" :broken pipe or
error writing "sock23" :broken pipe

or some other number ....

I also had a windrop, loaded with same scripts, and he never gave me this errors. I use eggdrop 1.6.17 without ssl.

Any info how i can fix this, besides .restart which isnt an option, because this happens like 2 or 3 times /day.

cya

sounds like you or the FTP have routing issues.
for the moment it will probably best to loop until a successfull connect. you could also build a manual for loop with non-blocking code and a global counter.

Code: Select all

for {set i 1} i<20 {incr i} {
  if { ![catch {
      FTP blabla
    }]} {
    break
  }
}

One more question, i made a script which connects to the ftp, but sometimes ftp isnt available, and then script jst tries to establish connection even for 2 minutes or longer and bot isnt usable for anything else during that time, could i make so it tries for 30s if he can connect if not he moves on, so he doesnt wait too long on the same position ?

This sounds like checking if warez ftp's are up to me. Go elsewhere for help on illegal activities.

No. It has nothing to do with illegal stuff ??

It `s public ftps, with free stuff (linux pubs) ....

Or why do you think this would be warez, have i said it`s warez ... Don`t make assumptions of me if you don`t know me !

I agree with ^DooM^. I dont see any legal reasons why anyone would need a irc frontend to make sure a list of ftp sites are online.

Linux comunity which is on irc, watches for new rpms online on public ftpds, which are also notified on irc .....

jeez

learn about non blocking socket connection. there are various examples in the forums.
