Title: When Anope Restart/Shutdown
Post by: Taylor on April 10, 2010, 10:53:17 PM
I was thinking when anope is restarting or maybe shutting down..  Instead of The botserv bots in various channels just "Netsplitting" They should part the channel first with reason such as :Restarting  or :Shutting down.  Perhaps maybe not on Shutdown, just an idea, but especially on restart parting and the bots then joining back i think looks cleaner and better than just seeing them netsplit.. I've had users say "services failed" or asked me what i broke, and i said guys... its just a restart to update anope,  I know it can send globals out when restarting or shutting down but sometimes users dont see those, and come on , parting is sexier :P

I like the idea and want to see it in future anope releases. :-)

Just because it's Cronus - No!

Nah, sounds cool. It'd avoid having NNS parse them which gets annoying if you find a repetative crash bug. :X

Yes to parting psuedo clients from channels before SQUIT is sent.

It's certainly neater so yes, I like it too; something we should implement in 1.9.x

how about instead of parting, quit them, would be easier to code, and save bandwidth on larger networks as only 1 quit msg is sent from the hub to each user in a channel they are in, not 1 message per user per channel.

also should quit all p-clients, nickserv etc as well.

Thats a good idea (sending QUITs), it will be in 1.9.3.
