#16 Connection after network interruption
Ok, I have no logs to detail this as debug on 5 didn't
show any thing except then I started it up and shut it
down.
My bots appear to have problems reconnecting to IRC if
my adsl suffers an interruption.
I've yet to be able to duplicate this problem manualy.
Altho, my manual attempts never achive the one thing
an adsl failure does, a new IP.
Is it possible that an IP change on the interface is
causeing the issue?
Perhaps that combined with the fact that these outages
on average last 10-20 minutes? I've waited for hours for
them to come back, they never do.
Any info I can provide is yours

(BTW, my domain is down at the current minute so no
email will get through, I'll come back and check
regualarily till my domain comes back up)
Just found this right before I posted if it helps

I don't know if we can fix this due to the 'new IP' thing.
As far as I know, Net::IRC binds to a 'localaddr' ip, and if
that changes out from under it, I don't know how it would
know to make a new one.

Is your perlbot running on the machine with the actual ADSL
IP, or is it running on a separate box behind a firewall/NAT
device?

yes to the actual ip question...
Perhaps we can log the bound ip and check on disconnect
for changes, when it changes kill the whole thing and start all
over again?? (I've done this lots, just using ifconfig for various
utility scripts)
on start $boundip = ip
on disconnect -> check ip, attempt reconnect if not changed,
else destroy (recreate the bot module)
my bots should be binding to 0.0.0.0 if thats any help
Of course, there's probably an easier meathod then killing the
whole bot and starting it over again, but you get the idea (c:
