I'm currently way too busy too blog, work is hectic as can be. Still, here's a brief update. I have been working on PIMB last saturday. I have implemented a basic feature that allows you to inspect log files from the bot panel (web page). It works fine, and I'll add a live log feature later. A live log is a log that scrolls in real-time when new messages are added. Trust me, it will look cool.

I'm now testing the reliability of PIMB and am running into a problem. Bots are PHP scripts which wait for incoming messages. Essentially, this means that the bot has to run "infinitely", or at least until someone stops it. The problem is that my scripts get killed after exactly 5 hours and 10 minutes. This is definitely not the PHP max execution time kicking in, because that is 30 seconds by default and I have taken measures to set it to no limit at all. I am wondering if Apache is responsible for it, or perhaps some OS level process. It could even be the Jabber server, of which I have zero control. It is extremely time consuming and hard to test this. I'm going to have to resolve it some way or another, otherwise I may have to rethink the entire architecture. Wish me luck.
