Channel Cycling.

I have a really simple question, that despite my best efforts, I have no been able to find an answer for.

My question is this:

Say I'm configuring new channel settings on DalNet, or adding a new bot to the SOP list for my channel (On DalNet)...is there a command I can issue to my bots to make then cycle all the channels they're on, without having to restart them completely?

I know that when a bot loses it's ops and it's the only "person" in the room, it'll cycle the channel to get it back. How can I make the bot cycle the channel myself? (Hopefully this can be done aside from .restart and outright kicking it from the channel, lol.)

Thanks
Melchiah

Is the bot set +cycle for that channel? If it is, it should be doing it automagically. In case your not sure. switch the console via partyline to that channel and type .chanset +cycle . There has also been times, because they 'cycle' out of 'order', that a channel with 3 or more bots must have some of the bots .-chan or killed off. I have had a small channel of 4 bots cycle for hours without hitting it just right. Maybe some of the experts here have a better method or suggestion.

Are you just willing to do a manual part-join?
if so..

to part the chan.. without forgettion the user list.. ban list..setting..

.chanset #chan +inactive

to rejoin the channel

.chanset #chan -inactive

if u want to do join parts periodically... u might need 2 write a script to perform these commands.

If .tcl is enabled putserv "PART #chan" should do the trick, since the channel record still exists it will (should) rejoin.
