--- Comment #3 from Ori Livneh <[email protected]> --- See also: https://bitbucket.org/jaraco/irc/issue/16/irc-client-ping-timeout-https://bitbucket.org/jaraco/irc/issue/1/library-does-not-detect-that-connection-is Additional notes: * Tends to happen during the weekend. * logmsgbot uses the same library, does not set a keepalive, and remains reliably connected. * morebots is hosted on wikitech-static, which is hosted on Rackspace This supports the theory that this is caused by an aggressive TCP idle timeout that the library is not sufficiently robust to handle. The upstream package maintainer doesn't seem especially interested in chasing this down or in documenting his changes properly, so I don't think it'd be worth the effort to update the Debian package to pull in his latest changes. I think we should implement something very crude but effective, like having the bot keep a 5-minute timer that resets whenever any data at all is read from the socket. If the timer reaches 0, the bot should kill itself and have upstart or init respawn it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
