Title: IRC Reconnect
Post by: Snarfblatt on September 18, 2006, 06:23:20 pm

The bot seems to disconnect from IRC at times and the Reconnect setting doesn't ever kick in and reconnect the bot. Does the Reconnect actually work? I wish I had more specifics as to why the bot disconnects from IRC, but I haven't figured out yet what is triggering it. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

Known issue on my ToDo list. The Reconnect setting is badly named as it should be named Autoconnect or simply irc on/off as all it does is make the bot connect on startup.

Bummer... I guess maybe I'll dig in the code and see if I can figure out how to get it to happen.

could I just do something like this:
function cron()
{
if (($this -> irc != null) && (!$this -> irc -> _rawreceive()))
{
$this -> irc_disconnect();
$this -> bot -> send_gc("IRC connection lost...");
                $this -> connect();

}
}


Then if we are disconnected, we try to connect again.

Well I think I answered my own question. I tried this, then kicked the bot from IRC and it didn't try to reconnect. :(
