 |
|
Hi,
I started to use this script last week but it 'kills' my bot. In the eggdrop.log I found this:
* TERMINATE SIGNAL -- SIGNING OFF.
Can someone have a look pls?

Thank You! |

That log-entry suggests your eggdrop process is actively being killed off on your host (not uncommonly by an admin using the kill command, or a resource-management system). I can't find anything in the script that would cause your eggdrop to send a SIGTERM signal to itself - could be a coincidence that your admin started killing your eggdrop after you started using the script?

Thanks for your reply nml375. This is strange.
When I realized my eggdrop is not on irc I checked the running processes (ps -A) and the eggdrop as a process was among the running processes.

Had another look at that script...
There is a potential deadlock in the "rnduser" proc; where the script will pick a random nickname in the list of channel members, and make sure it's not present in the list of bots. If it is, it will pick a new one and repeat the test... This loop will continue until it manages to find a channel member not in the list. Still, it'd only be a real issue where the list of channel members solely consists of nicks in the list of bots...
All in all, though there's a lot that could be tidied up in that script, I can't see any real reason for it causing your eggdrop to crash...
As for "* TERMINATE SIGNAL -- SIGNING OFF'", this would only be logged if your eggdrop process did receive the SIGTERM signal.

Could it be that the script is doing something - perhaps getting stuck in a loop - and the shell detects a lot of resources consumed, and kills the process that is consuming them?
I believe that I saw this person on IRC describe this problem, and I think I remember that the bot is on a free shell. One that is known to have automated scripts to detect rules violations (too many bots, etc.) , so I wouldn't be surprised if they have something automated to detect a process that is using too much of resources.
This is very curious though:

Are we to assume that bot was started again by crontab and botchk?
Well ok.
Whatever started it... what's keeping bot from logging into the irc server?
That's mysterious.

Right, I was on freenode and described my problem on #xshellz and on #eggdrop.  And yes, I have been using a free shell since 2017.
I always use the autobotchk to create a crontab line so the bot started automatically after the kill.
Perhaps I have to ask someone in the Script request section to write a new script for me. |
