Help to check users online-time (server online, not channel)

sege · Post by **sege** » Wed Mar 20, 2002 7:52 pm

I'd like a funktion to see how long time a users has been connected to the server. The only functions I've found is to check how long users been in a channel.

Is that possible? If; how do I do?

Thanks!

capture it from the reply from a whois (numeric 317). note that the whois has to be executed on the server they are actually on to return a 317 (ie WHOIS $nick $nick)

Hmm, but then I get the signon-time in a not so very nice format, don't I? I get it in text.

What i want to do is to show how many days, hours, minutes a user been online...

no, you get a 32bit integer from 317, the number of seconds since 0000 hours, jan 1 1970 (ie, standard unix time format), which you can mathematically manipulate into any format you like

Hmm, oki, i'll play with that and see what I can do. Thanks!

BTW, where can I find info about the different raw-types?

rfc1459

317 RPL_WHOISIDLE
"<nick> <integer> :seconds idle"

Hmm, how do I get online-time from this?

Coudl you give me a short example or something?

RFC1459 is very old and most servers have all sorts of extensions to it. Try telnetting to your irc server and looking for yourself what information is contained in the 317 reply.

yah, sorry, i shoulda checked it myself before pointing it to ya. current implementation is this

317 RPL_WHOISIDLE
"<nick> <integer> <integer> :seconds idle, signon time"
