Author Topic: Auto Restart of the Bot (Read 3895 times)

Hi folks

I was wondering how I can set an "automatic restart function" to the bot. All I want is that the bot is restarting automatically at 04.00 a.m.

Can I handle this via cron- scripts?

Any idea?

Thanx, dill

im not realy into linuxsystems, but i would wright a shellscript wich "kill"s the process oft he bot "php StartBot.php Bot" and restarts it.
Or if u use the bot_check script from the forums u just could add a kill line into the crontab i would think and let the bot_check script do the rest.

I'm using my bot under a W2k8 server, so I'm a little bit limited by using the shell!

Killing and relaunching the StartBot.bat file is easy but looks quite unattractive to me; a time scheduled task wich will send the !restart command every 8 hrs would be great!

Ideas?

If you're a coder, you can write a module which run bot cron jobs at scheduled intervals which calls $this -> bot -> reconnect().

Why do you need to restart it btw?

Edit: wrote a simple module for you, hope it works like you expected.
