  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>Hi..
  35 </I>&gt;<i>
  36 </I>&gt;<i>Just wondering how exactly the backup feature of ircservices actually works.
  37 </I>&gt;<i>It says to run services with -readonly tag, but what i'm interested in, is
  38 </I>&gt;<i>how does it detect that the original services shell has gone down, and when
  39 </I>&gt;<i>to replace them until they get back?
  40 </I>
  41      You have to start it up manually; when the main one comes back, the
  42 backup will not reintroduce its clients after the nick collisions, while
  43 the main one will.  However, some IRC servers have weird nick collision
  44 handling which prevents this from working, and it hasn't been tested
  45 recently, so I'd recommend not using it, or at least testing it before you
  46 try it live.
