 |
|
I have a problem with my triviabot. About once an our it locks up with the too many open files error. I contacted my provider about that n they answered I'm limited at 64 what is a standard there.
Now my question, is it normal to set a limit at 64 files? I pay about 15 bucks a month for 3 bg processes and 50 MB data space.
lemme know what You think

are you talking about 64 opened files at once or 64 files on disc used one by oneother?
I believe a limit of 64 open files is already really a big deal, a 64 files quota for custom files would be ridiculous.

| 64 opened files at once is what I mean. I think it can be solved when the bot restarts every 30 minutes. Is there a .tcl what does that ? |

what about closing the files? I don't know why a bot would require 64 opened files, even if you count open TCP and bash connections as files (as what they are handled in TCL).

Closing em by myself is not an option I'm afraid. I don't want to spend that much time online 
Does anyome know an tcl that restarts the bot after a certain period of time ? I'm trying to find one but no luck yet |

the scripts should close them by itself. if they don't you would't run out of file handles sooner or later no matter how high your limit is.
| Code: | set fd [open $file r]
#script has 1 open file
set data [read $fd]
close $fd
#script has 0 open files but still has its content in $data |
if you still want to restart your bot periodly, then open TCL-Commands.doc under 'BIND TYPES' -> 'TIME' and 'restart'.

you don't have to, but you can, but however you shouldn't.
scroll your .conf to the bottom you might come up with an idea (if not, you are really dump  ).

I still have the same problem  Since nerbendr seems to be vanished I give it another try here.
When i use the above script in a tcl nothing happens... anyone who could help me?
Another solution might be a script where the bot die's after 30 minutes and restarts after that.
All of your help is very much appreciated by this NON-tcl'er

nerbendr strikes again! Look, personally I'd get rid of that trivia script permanently and go for one that works and is FREE! MoxQuizz 0.8.1 is an excellent multi language trivia script and doesn't open multiple files all over the place and the author fully supports his product for free!

I gave Oxquizz a try before I bought nerfbenders script. The problem with moxquizz is the fact not all text is displayed in java. Most people use the java chat applet there 
Besides that I have over 600,000 questions in the format for Nerf's bot now..
Any idea for an solution with killing and restarting the bot ? |

Try the Search function; I am sure this problem has already been covered elsewhere.
