What's the correct usage for bot flag +a???

Post by Jane`Lane »

dear friends,
do anyone know what's the correct usage for bot flag +a (alternate hub?)
let's suppose that I have

bot H = hub
bot L = leaf
bot A = alternate

how should I flag each bot???

Ok lets say this is your setup.

Bot1 is your most stable bot and this will be your hub bot.
Bot2 is your second most stable bot and this will be your alternate hub bot.
Bot3, Bot4, & Bot5 are just leaf bots.

Bot1 should not need a flag set as it is your hub.
Bot2 should set Bot1 with the +h flag i.e. .botattr Bot1 +h
Bot3, Bot4 & Bot5 should all do the same and set .botattr Bot1 +h

Now Say that Bot1 happend to go down the other bots will need infrmation on which is the alternate hub bot so in Bot3, Bot4 & Bot5 you should .botattr Bot2 +a so all the leaf bots now know which bot the should connect to if the main hub bot is down.

I hope this helps.
