Count ban time

[BigToe]

Hi,

Looking for a script that will log channel (#channel1) bans as in: when they were set, by who, what is the ban and announce in #channel2 every 30 mins how long its been since those bans added.

ie:

#channel1:

[14:03] * johnny sets mode: +b *!*@sphex.users.quakenet.org
[14:15] * johnny sets mode: +b *!*@tony.users.quakenet.org

[17:33] * johnny sets mode: -b *!*@tony.users.quakenet.org

#channel2:

[14:33] <Bot> *!*@sphex.users.quakenet.org is still banned in #channel1, the ban was set 30 minutes ago by johnny
[14:45] <Bot> *!*@tony.users.quakenet.org is still banned in #channel1, the ban was set 30 minutes ago by johnny


[18:03] <Bot> *!*@sphex.users.quakenet.org is still banned in #channel1, the ban was set 240 minutes ago by johnny

This applies only to bans that are still listed as bans in #channel1, not those that have been removed in the meantime

Something like this should do the trick... Code is untested though.

Code: Select all

namespace eval BanReport {
  variable SourceChannel "#channel1"
  variable DestinationChannel "#channel2"

  proc reportBans {minute hour day month weekday} {
    variable SourceChannel
    variable DestinationChannel
    foreach ban [chanbans $SourceChannel] {
      puthelp "PRIVMSG $DestinationChannel :[lindex $ban 0] is still banned in ${SourceChannel}, the ban was set [expr [lindex $ban 2] / 60] minutes ago by [lindex $ban 1]"
    }
  }
  bind cron - "*/30" [namespace code reportBans]
}

Hi, thanks for the script!

It seems to be working pretty good, one thing though, it doesn't calculate the bans' time correctly.. I mean, it doesn't look at the banlist and check when the ban was aded right? because when I restarted the bot, 30 mins later when announcing the bans it said all the bans were added 30 mins ago and that wasn't the case

[nml375]

The script checks the banlist in the channel, not the bot's internal banlist. If a ban is already present when the bot joins the channel, it will use it's own time of joining the channel as the ban creation time.

[Get_A_Fix]

you could alternatively have the bot match the raw numeric for bans, to match when they were really set on channel.

For example, /mode #channel1 b

This would return a list of banmasks, in the order they were banned (latest at the top, with older bans below). You could match the (time it was set) and either keep the ( ) in output, or parse them off.

It's an idea, but personally, the code that nml375 posted is perfect and would only require minimal tweaking to work on a raw bind.
