  47      In the future, Services will (hopefully) support other methods of
  48 data
  49 storage, but something as unusual as you suggest would likely still need
  50 a
  51 custom module to be written.  As far as the current version of Services
  52 goes, yes, you can use XML to update the databases, but be aware that
  53 Services is not currently capable of importing XML data while running;
  54 since it would not be advisable to allow anyone to restart Services by
  55 creating a new account (think &quot;while true ; do wget ... ; done&quot;), you
  56 could
  57 set up a cron job to terminate Services, import any new/changed data,
  58 and
  59 restart Services periodically, say in the early morning.  (If you do
  60 this,
  61 make sure you use &quot;kill&quot; or &quot;kill -TERM&quot; to terminate Services--if you
  62 use
  63 &quot;kill -INT&quot; or other signals, Services will not save the databases on
  64 exit.)

  70 &gt;<i>Hi,
  71 </I>&gt;<i>
  72 </I>&gt;<i>I have an interesting problem. I maintain the server for a large site
  73 </I>with a forum and fancy java chat system, currently the logins for the
  74 java chat system are linked to the user accounts on the forum, which is
  75 vBulletin. I wrot the login stuff myself in
  76 &gt;<i> PHP.
  77 </I>&gt;<i>
  78 </I>&gt;<i>We'd like to do away with the java chat system for various reasons, and
  79 </I>possibly like to replace it with an IRC server. One of the main concerns
  80 here is controllung use of nicknames.
  81 &gt;<i>
  82 </I>&gt;<i>Unfortunately, asking users to create two accounts (one on the forum,
  83 </I>one on the IRC server/services) isn't really an option. I must keep the
  84 IRC services accounts in sync with the forum ones.
  85 &gt;<i>
  86 </I>&gt;<i>I have noticed that there is an inport function for the accounts used
  87 </I>by Services - I can easily create the XML file from the vBulletin
  88 account data for Services to import, however, how should I keep this
  89 updated? Should I simply have Services import the
  90 &gt;<i>current account data every hour or so?
  91 </I>&gt;<i>
  92 </I>&gt;<i>There are approximately 8,000 accounts on the forum, but I don't expect
  93 </I>that more than 500 or so would create an IRC account.
  94 &gt;<i>
  95 </I>&gt;<i>What is the best way to approach this? While I am more than willing to
  96 </I>code support for something like this myself, I'm afraid my C/C++ skills
  97 are not up to the task at the moment.
  98 &gt;<i>
  99 </I>&gt;<i>Does anyone have any other ideas about how to accomplish this?
 100 </I>&gt;<i>
 101 </I>&gt;<i>Many thanks,
 102 </I>&gt;<i>
 103 </I>&gt;<i>Charlie
