Netsplit Detect - Public .

ElZeRo · Post by **ElZeRo** » Mon Nov 28, 2005 12:56 pm

I have been Looking for a Netsplit detector that can post public like the NN-script(mIRC) does as notice ...

NN-script notice -> Netsplit detected, (62) user(s) split!

That i would like my Egg to do, not in notice, but public ;P

Could some one be at help ??... pls !

Regards

As far as I am aware there is no way eggdrop can be used to detect a netsplit; apart from the fact that netsplit detectors are a tad useless anyway, the event has already happened and they always state the obvious in a channel that everyone not affected has already seen.

Almy has quit (trogdor.hub.dal.net ninja.hub.dal.net)

The above is pretty obvious!

maybe he meant posting split info gathered on other channels

anyhow, it's useless for any practical purpose - some servers split, so what - you can't get ops on split (and more importantly, on merge), and it's been that way for many years now

Couldn't agree more, totally useless.

Which ircd?

If your ircd have info channels like &servers (notices about servers coming and leaving) you can use script netsplitdetect by G'Quann.

You can find modified version with public pubs etc on www.slo-eggdrop.com link "Moje skripte"

netsplit detectors do not detect netsplits, they only
read the quit messages and report what they see,
as was said before "useless" and annoying

It depends on ircd.

Script i posted detects net splits on ircnet and ircnet like ircd's.

It reads notices when server quits or comes back in server info channel &servers

ircnet-like ircd's? I'm not aware of any

well, I might be out-of-date hehe

not to underestimate your script, it's just another split info forwarder

a real netsplit detector was once running on EFnet's #netsplit; it was measuring server-to-server lag, announcing potential splits that were likely going to happen; all takeover monkeys used to hang on #netsplit and rush to the lagged server in a bid to get ops on the split (more recently, to get feedback of DDoSing); anyhow, all that is long gone, for good
