Title: lost connection after inactivity
Post by: amarganth on February 25, 2005, 07:06:09 PM

hi all

may be someone has a hint for me?

the new TourneyStatsBot get a disconnect after half an hour (?) of inactivity. That's normal, if it's a player. but for a bot, who must be active 7x24 hours, i must do something against that.

i tried to send all 15 minutes a "time" command to fibs, but that doesn't work.

how is it realized in other bots? repbot, for example?

thanks in advance for every hint.

Why wouldn't that work? It's how TourneyBot does it.

TourneyBot's internal scheduler is responsible for sending the time command every 10 minutes (at least I think it's 10). The Scheduler is an object that can execute any given Task after a specified delay. For implementation details, see scheduler.rb in TourneyBot code.

Here is a direct link (http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/TourneyBot/scheduler.rb?rev=1.2&cvsroot=tourneybot&only_with_tag=rel-1_5beta6&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup) to it.

Hi MadMatt

I see, you do the same thing.

May be it's the difference: you do it every 10 minutes, i do it every 15 minutes.

I will change it to 10 minutes. I hope it will work correctly then. :(

Thanks! :rolleyes:
