Could you specify your exact OS please :P. But yes, I've seen this at Linux at least (reference count fun)... The temporarely *workaround* is to remove the loadmodule line, rehash (so the module is unloaded) and add it back again and rehash.. |
|
|
RedHat, SuSE, Debian, any others? :) |
|
|
AngryWolf: The bugreport says '*nix' which is a too general description in this case so I ask the specific OS.. I know it affects Linux, but as you hopefully know too, there are other OS's in this world as well (eg: FreeBSD) :p. |
|

RedHat 7.3 is one I know of for sure. There are others, but I haven't kept track of the different OS's on our shells and if rehash works on those. I just do the remove module - rehash - add again - rehash sequence. edited on: 10-30-03 21:31 |

Thanks. Dunnow when this will fixed, IIRC codemastr had been thinking of it.. could be a few weeks, could be a few months. |

Maybe it makes the IRCd unstable, when reloading all modules with rehash !? In third Party modules, especially in some of AngryWolfs modules, the IRCd crashed, because of unloading the module. Yes, because of bugs, but normally you don't rehash modules every day, but you do that with the main config ;) Maybe it is better to add something like /rehash -module, to make sure, the modules get only reloaded if needed ;) |
|
|
it's a bit more complicated :P actually it does reload them, but the dynamic linking loader doesn't reload it from disk because when you rehash it opens the new module, tests it.. and then closes the old one... therefore the reference count will be 1 --> 2 --> 1.. and only when it reaches 0 the module is unloaded from memory (and will be reread from disk)... blahbalbvsfkhds ;). |
