| 34 | <PRE>><i>This is my first post on any mailing list... ever. So forgive me if I've | |
| 35 | </I>><i>missed some major ettiquette conventions, it's unintentional. | |
| 36 | </I> | |
| 37 | You're doing fine, don't worry. (: | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | ><i>As I am currently testing on a "live" install, I don't want to repeat this, | |
| 40 | </I>><i>but the wording in the manual is somewhat ambiguous as to whether the | |
| 41 | </I>><i>command line -export=filename will cause the same behaviour, as it also | |
| 42 | </I>><i>mentions database information changing, and shutting the server down before | |
| 43 | </I>><i>exporting. | |
| 44 | </I>><i> | |
| 45 | </I>><i>Can I use the command line -export option to export the services database | |
| 46 | </I>><i>while ircservices is running and connected to a network? | |
| 47 | </I> | |
| 48 | Yes; you can run "ircservices -export" from the command line while an | |
| 49 | active copy of Services is running, and doing so won't affect that running | |
| 50 | copy. However, keep in mind that the exported data will only be current | |
| 51 | as of the last database file update, so it may be up to 5 minutes old (or | |
| 52 | whatever period of time you specified in the UpdateTimeout directive in | |
| 53 | ircservices.conf). | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | ><i>Also, does anyone have any experience with modifying the database services | |
| 56 | </I>><i>uses in real time? Ideally I'd like external applications to have access to | |
| 57 | </I>><i>constantly up-to-date information from services. | |
| 58 | </I> | |
| 59 | Unfortunately, Services isn't designed to handle asynchronous updates to | |
| 60 | its databases. Providing read-only access to the data is feasible in | |
| 61 | theory, but you'd need to write a custom module to handle it. | |
| 62 | ||
| 63 | ><i>Current Version Info: | |
| 64 | </I>><i>IRC Services 5.0.50 with Unreal3.2.4 | |
| 65 | </I> | |
| 66 | Also let me point out that this version of Services is quite old, and has | |
| 67 | known security flaws; I'd recommend that you upgrade to either the current | |
| 68 | version (5.1.11) or, if you prefer to stay with the 5.0 series, the latest | |
| 69 | release in that series (5.0.63). | |
