Description

This script joins channel &servers and listens for netsplits. A list of current netsplits can be accessed via partyline. After a set time netsplits are marked as critical, since people can nick-collide and take server op via the other server.
This script was written for IrcNET, so it might be useless on other networks.

Commands MSG/DCC

DCC Commands

.netsplits (m|m) - show all current netsplits

Further help is available via the netbots help system. Use .nethelp

Installation

netset.tcl

To install this component properly you have to copy it to your netbots directory and add these lines to your netset.tcl conf:

# splitdetect.tcl
set nb_component(splitdetect) 1
set sd_criticaltime 25
set sd_lost 1440
set sd_ignore "rlinks.tu-ilmenau.de"
set sd_showall 1

Settings Documentation

sd_criticaltime (default: 25)
	Set here a time limit after which a server is marked as critical. 25 should be fine for most needs, since IrcNET ND and CD timeouts after 30 minutes.
	Valid settings: x minutes

sd_lost (default: 1440)
	Set here a time period after which a netsplited server is 'lost'
	Valid settings: x minutes

sd_ignore (default: "rlinks.tu-ilmenau.de")
	Some test server or hubs regulary disconnect. Normally you don't want to see them, insert them in this list variable
	Valid settings: one channel like "rlinks.tu-ilmenau.de", a list of channels like "rlinks.tu-ilmenau.de hub.irc.pl"

sd_showall (default: 1)
	Do you want .netsplits to display all splitted servers or just the critical ones?
	Valid settings: 1 to enable, 0 to disable.
