Hey, question...

I noticed my bot leaving and returning every hour.. so I watched in putty and it said 'stoned, gone for munchies' so I went in eggdrop.conf and turned it off...

But with stoned server off and I get disconnected my bot don't reconnect to chat server and just sits there running as a process..

When stone server is on, my bot reconnects when my isp drops and comes back on...

But I don't want bot to leave every hour for munchies and come right back lol...

Is there something im missing?

Thanks

Include a list of servers in the conf so that if a server gets stoned the bot will automatically jump to another.

I have 2 servers listed in the conf but, to the same server as I don't want it going anywhere else..

like this:

I have bots on DALnet and have 17 servers in the conf and there's never a problem.

... which is what I was getting at.

I have 3 bots connected, and all have same settings in the conf except the nickname/ ports..

But only one keeps leaving around every hr to hr 1/2 saying stoned gone for munchies.

If there are problems with a server and the bot has no alternatives then the problem will persist.

So this is how it has to be?

Stone server set to 1: (A) Will reconnect bots on disconnect (B) Will make the bot jump servers every 1 to 2 hrs - even tho connection to server didn't die

Stone server set to 0: (A) Will not reconnect bots on disconnect (B) Will keep bot in room and not jump servers every 1 to 2 hrs

I just wanted to know if theres any other way to make bot (A) Reconnect on disconnect and (B) Not jump servers every 1-2 hrs when connection isn't dead...
But with only 1 and 0 as an option guess this is how it has to be?

Unless i am doing something wrong..... maybe I should try a different port to listen on? Confused

nope, you are wrong

check-stoned set to 1 simply means the bot will jump to the next server if it hasn't received PONG response from the server for some pre-determined period of time (which is hardcoded in eggdrop and that sucks, but this is another story)

check-stoned set to 0 means eggdrop will stay connected until other peer resets the connection

Thanks demond,

I've put in a ping timer script and seems to be working better now. Wink
