Hi, This is mail for all wm-bot operators, I don't even remember who all have access to it, so I send this to all of labs.
I updated documentation of wm-bot on wikitech: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Bots/Documentation/wm-bot Lot of you complained how hard is it to start and stop the bot... I am still working on it, but these two commands should now work: sudo service wm-bot stop # will stop wm-bot entirely - it will disconnect all 5 instances from freenode sudo service wm-bot start # will start wm-bot entirely - all bouncers and core This should make it far more simple to bring bot back in case anything happened, also please bear in mind that as long as its processes are running it will attempt to reconnect to freenode indefinitely, so if it just disconnected, it might recover itself. Self apply for lost nickname etc. It will try to fix itself as long as it's running, so these commands are only if nothing else helps or if the machine was rebooted. I would eventually add this script to RC levels so that bot would start even when reboot happens, but it needs some more tweaks I guess as there is a number of dependencies. Let me know if anything wasn't clear in that documentation _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l
