Hey all,
is there a way to detect "(!) timer drift -- spun X minutes" i have a join flood protection script that i want to disable when this happens because it will mistake normal joins with floods. i have a lag check incorporated in the script, it works fine when the bot is lagging due to connection problem but when the eggdrop process by it self is having problems (CPU time or whatever) my lag check fails since it can't run.

now if there is a bind or something to detect "(!) timer drift -- spun X minutes" then it would be more effective than having a lag check every x minutes.

thanks in advance.

The only thing that will trigger after 'timer drift' is the HOOK_MINUTELY (once for each minute "missed"). This in its turn will trigger a check for time-bindings, so I guess this might be a way of writing a detector of some sort (checking if a time-binding triggers several times within a very short timespan).

There is, however, no direct hook or trigger for timer drift, so you'll be forced to write your own detector.

Something like this might work (not tested):

I'm afraid that will not work, as the timestamp used to trigger the time-binding is "current" even in the timer-drift condition.
The effect however, would be that the time-binding will trigger multiple times with the same minute-value.

Good to know. I get them quite a bit from my old p2 lagging.
