Are you running the start.php or the bot.php?

Had the same problem, but when I was speaking to malosar he suggested a program to make the bots run as a service and everything works perfectly now.

the bot.bat file seems to cause that, I'm just starting my bots with php.exe "path to start.php file" now, works fine.

using FireDaemon now and its mint, thanks for link, much better than trayit, but works well with it

does not seem to pause now

Yeah don't use the batch file. Use firedaemon with the php.exe as the executable and the start.php as the parameter.

If your using the packaged .bat as is you should know its for testing purposes. That is I use it to stop the bot from restarting when a fatal error in code stops php so I can see what the error was in the Windows php CLI. Mostly because there is no php error logging in bebot using the Win32 php CLI.

Anyway Here's the contents of a batch file that won't stop the bot from reconnecting. Note the lack of a DOS batch pause command and it calls start.php instead of main.php
start.bat

Code: [Select]
