bot keep alive

Post by dutch1918 »

I've looked and could not find this. Looking for a script that will keep the bot alive. The current problem I'm having is that sometimes the bot pings out and never reconnects.

Thanks

I wonder why it pings out in the first place.

Do you have any scripts loaded?
Comment them ALL out, and start the bot. Let it run a day or whatever it takes, to see if that changes things.
If it does, then you know that one of your scripts is blocking the bot. Could be that the bot is not responding to the server's ping.

Is there anything in the bot's log, that might be a clue?
Or perhaps you leave your client logged into the partyline?... have you seen anything there, that might clue you as to what is really happening?

I am connected to 2 different servers and the other server has no problem so it's not the scripts. Also if I ping the server I am having problems with sometimes it pings back 22 ms and sometimes it's lots lots more

Your original request was for a script to keep the bot alive. We could come up with something to make the bot ping the server, or you, or whatever - periodically. But to what avail? You've just said that sometimes it takes forever.

See what I mean? This is why I was more concerned with the cause.

Perhaps somebody else will jump in here with an idea.

p.s.
if you want to name the two respective networks/servers and tell us which is the culprit, maybe somebody will have already had experience with them to share, and you might wake them up.

Eggdrop already does this by default. In your eggdrop.conf set check-stoned 1
(the default). If this is set, this shouldn't happen.

If it still does, there's a deeper problem somewhere that's causing eggdrop to freeze.

Run it in debug? Or set console to debug and watch for errors, then trace?
