[JDEV] irc-jabber & killall -HUP

[Dennis Noordsij]

Two questions :-)

1 - killall -HUP jabberd does not always (ever :) do what I expect it to, for 
example if I add a new service to the jabber.xml file and -HUP jabberd it 
doesn't act on it, for example start to listen on a new port (if I told it 
to). This can be a bit annoying if people are using the server and I have to 
take it down :-)

2 - I got icq-transport-0.9.something to work using groupchat. I changed a 
few lines in the source (similar to other transports) and it worked like a 
charm, connected to the irc server, etc. However, the most attractive feature 
is to register with the agent and have it tell you when your friends come on 
IRC. This uses the subagent register.irc.domain thing, and I haven't been 
able to configure that properly with jabberd. I ended up with 2 accept 
statements in jabber.xml (on service irc.domain and one register.irc.domain) 
and adding one agent (irc.domain) that had a subagent register.irc.domain, 
and well things got all complicated from there!

I would be perfectly happy to use that irc-transport if I could get 
registration to work (ie I haven't figured out all the details needed to set 
it up with jabberd). 

When I downloaded the latest irc-transport (not yet irc-jabber) I got an 
incompatible groupchat error when I ran it, at least now it makes sense :-)


Regards,
Dennis
