Title: Reducing the load on a server
Post by: cyberkov on August 28, 2008, 05:22:02 pm

Hello :)

The server load goes very high when the AoC Servers are offline (like down for maintenance).

So I added a sleep to Bot.php which might be a good idea to add to the svn version if that is possible.

Code: [Select]

cyberkov:~/sources/bebot-aoc/Sources# svn diff Bot.php
Index: Bot.php
===================================================================

Implemented a similar fix.

Though I think the bot should be waiting already if you didn't set the reconnect delay to 0. If it is set to 0 my fix won't help in this case either as I'm using the same timeout.

PS: I've added the fix to the official main bebot svn. Not sure what's the status on the aoc svn is.
