(!) timer drift - Bot times out...

[GodOfSuicide]

My bot times out quite often, but allways at xx:?6 o clock.

[21:26] (!) timer drift -- spun 2 minutes
[21:26] -ERROR from server- Closing Link: MyBotNick by myirc-server.domain (Ping timeout)
[21:26] Disconnecting from server.

according to ".bind time" there is no event bound to ?6, and also there isn't a cronjob or anything else...

He is lagging & die'ng or something like this..

This could be a script, using timers to accomplisht he same goal as doing things once per hour.

.bind time doesnt refer to anything at ?6

timertools1.0 (from tcl archive) returns me ~20 timers..

for example :

### 8 ircjunkies_update timer50885

there are 20 lines of same formated timers, all displaying "8 proc_name timernumber"

[ppslim]

Have you checked the ircjunkies_update script?

Code: Select all

proc test {} {
if {[string index [set time [clock format [clock seconds] -format "%M"]] 0] == "0"} { set time [string index $time 1] }
if {$time != "6"} {
timer 1 test
return
}
#rest
timer 1 test
}

The above code, while it is called every min, will only reach "#REST" when it is 6 mins past.

Timers and time binds, don't just have to be called at the preceice time a function takes place.

This sounds like some other job running on the box hogging all avaliable resources for a while...
The timer drift message means the eggdrop loop hasn't been run for a while which means the system probably was too busy doing other things to bother with your eggdrop process.
