Hi,
I wonder if a program exists, to check if Bot-A is logged in, if not could trigger Bot-B to log into game.
Kind of like on a mailserver, where you have MX matrix records. You start of with a 5 route being the primary route and then say a 10 route, which would take over if the 5 route failed.
The reason I ask this is, I want to set up a backup bot, on a seperate connection, that will kick in if the primary connection goes down.
Please let me know if this is possible.?
I'm sure others would like a similar program

It's possible, I wrote something like it a few years ago (don't have anything left from it now).
Just need to either make bot b check if bot a is online in all send_* commands, or a var that's set true/false if bot a logs on/off.
If bot a is online, send_* is halted, if it's offline, it'll proceed. Everything else can be identical between the bots, that way both bots are updated on any commands and such.

Is this also possible to be done with Budabot, as we run both

Still need a hand with this
