Bot crashing upon .restart

jedis · Post by **jedis** » Sat Dec 22, 2001 8:27 am

Hiyas,

I am having problems with my bots crashing when I perform a .restart on them. It doesn't happen all of the time, but it does happen frequently.

I am using eggdrop1.6.7.

<Botname> [05:17] #jedis# restart
<Botname> Restarting.
<Botname> [05:17] Writing user file...
<Botname> [05:17] Writing channel file ...
<Botname> [05:17] Restarting ...

<Botname> [05:17] * Last context: tclhash.c/680 []
<Botname> [05:17] * Please REPORT this BUG!
<Botname> [05:17] * Check doc/BUG-REPORT on how to do so.

From here on out, the bot just sits there.

ps -au on the shell shows the bot can be using up to 20%+ of the CPU at this time. I've waited as long as five minutes and they still do not shutdown. Requires manually killing the process from the shell. What can be causing this? It doesn't appear to be getting to the point of writing the debug file to check for errors.

EDIT: It does start the debug process, but only gets this far:

.restart has always had its problems though. Personally if I ever make enough changes that warrent a restart, I hard restart from shell.

I've always found eggdrop unstable after a .restart. Example, had an egg running for approx 50 days, hit .restart and it segfaulted 20 mins later.

Then you should be reporting these issues.

You of all people know, that without our reports fo these crashes, bugs like these will remain.
