    Hi!

    I just startet testing and got stuck after a few steps.

    I joined a Channel where I don't have OP and have forgotten to implement a "quit" function to the bot.

    Now ist runs (very stable ;) ) but I would like to know how I can kill the bot.

    The script runs on a shared host and I have no direct control (SSH) just FTP.

    Any idea?

    Bye, Tom.

      eventually it will timeout or something and crash.  You may be able to get it kicked from the network for flooding, assuming your network has such restrictions.

      How did you start it?

      I used a modified example.php which came with the distribution.

      In the meantime I contacted a server admin who was able to kick the bot.

      To make your bot quit suddently use the quit(); command. Make sure to register this actionhandler first, then put it in the function method. it should leave with an EOF From Client. I'm still currently working on making the quit messages work, so I dont always get EOF's

      I had this problem with EOF's. if you try and kill the bot too quickly, then you will get an EOF - I have found that if you disable calling a quit() command for 20 seconds or so before the bot has been logged in, it will get rid of your EOF problems.
