server socket -> crash on rehash

[ex]

Code: Select all

proc Server {channel clientaddr clientport} {
   putlog "Connection from $clientaddr registered"
   puts $channel "[channels]"
   close $channel
}

socket -myaddr "cyberscripters.org" -server Server 63322

i have this out of a manual. but my problem is, that the eggdrop crashs when rehashing with the errormessage, that this port is already mapped.

is there a command like info exists for ports?
or should i first try to reach the port and only if closed open it again?

You could use the "catch" command to catch the error. Or use "info exists" with another variable like "already_loaded" and set it when your script is loaded.

Some time ago I made an example based on an existing script (see the top few lines of the script):

Go to http://members.fortunecity.com/eggheadtcl/

and then find the script "sockreport.tcl"

[Galadhrim]

the system often has a timeout perioud before actually releasing the socket, because a) someone might be trying to send data to the socket and its on its way b) a local program might be trying to send data to the other end and it hasnt been accepted yet so it waits for a conformation.

when you rehash the bot trys to rebind on the same port which could cause a crash => try this

Code: Select all

if {[catch {socket -myaddr "cyberscripters.org" -server Server 63322} s]} {
  putlog "Already binded to cyberscripters.org:63322"
} else {
  putlog "Binded to cyberscripters.org:63322"
}

like stdragon suggests
