Description

Mark_B made a bot named tahoebot join the #tahoe-lafs IRC channel. It was great! But ever since Mark's courses started, tahoebot has rarely joined our channel.

Possible solutions:

  1. Mark writes a cronjob to restart tahoebot.
  2. Someone else volunteers to become the tahoebot wrangler. Is the source code of tahoebot on github?

I will try to configure upstart to work with tahoe-bot.

I'm not sure why tahoe-bot keeps crashing, but from my logs it appears to be a race condition with the RSS parser and the IRC parser. The error occurs when the RSS parser fails to grab the feed.

For future reference, the source code for tahoe-bot is hosted on github:

  • ​tally: the library with all of the irc and rss logic
  • ​tahoe-bot: the repo with the appropriate settings

The code is in Go, but it is easy to pick up for anyone interested.

tahoe-bot is now configured with upstart so it should relaunch after it crashes.

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

It is indeed running.

I'm wondering if polling the timeline every 15 seconds might contribute to the occasional performance problems we see in Trac, but I'll defer that analysis for a later day.
