Phoenix Network Forums

I just logged into my shell and resumed my screen session to find irssi killed for some reason...

Why did this happen, and what should I do to prevent it from happening again?

It is possible that the server rebooted, killing everything. You should set up a .reboot file (see Tim's announcement) so that it restarts automatically. Although phoenix-network states a current uptime of 54 days.....so maybe irssi just crashed....it can happen on extremely rare occassions. Either that or you exited screen incorrectly killing it rather than detaching it.

No, the server couldn't have rebooted, or else my screen session would no longer be present. Also, I didn't exit screen incorrectly. I know how to use screen
I just logged in and reattached screen, and I saw irssi, and the words "killed" below it. I still don't see how/why it was killed. I've never had irssi kill itself before, and I know that I wasn't PMed by 100 bots or something of the sort which would put irssi at a high CPU usage, forcing the kernel to kill it. The only action that would kill it would be someone manually killing it, or something I don't know about...
Anyway, I want to know how this could have happened. :/

It was killed because of a missunderstanding of the "eth0 rule" .

You will usually be notified via PM when one of your processes were killed by the staff stating the reason. Else there was no reason to state the reason or it was not killed by the staff and therefore can only be investigated by yourself. Using "uptime" (or !status on IRC) can tell you how long the server has been running.

Mine too.. There are times when my bnc process is killed.. And I don't receive any sort of notification or something.. There are also times when my bot process is killed.. But it's okay since I usually login to my account everyday.. I just run the stopped processes again..

Hey no reason to get paranoid. People aren't perfect which also means software isn't perfect. Programs and scripts can die on their own due to a developer-programming error.

Cheers!

They are only killed if you violate a rule of some sort. Perhaps you should review the rules.

Don`t know about that...
