[IRCServices] Two small things...

[Chris Knipe]

Hi,

I just have two small questions regarding services...  It's something
which well, degraded (?) as the months and days went past in
development....

Firstly, I might be mistaken here... But didn't services at some stage
had a feature to rotate and cycle the log files??  I believe the command
was (OS) 'recycle' or 'rotate' ?

This seems to be missing from the current release of services, so I was
just wondering what has happened to it, where it got dropped, and whether
there would be any chance in getting the rotation back? It surely is a
nice tool to have... No one appreciates 10MB log files (even if it is only
after a while) :))

Second one, is a bit more strange... It evolves arround ChanServ's
access-lists, more specifically the AOP lists...  Was there somewhere
perhaps allot of additional checking / access-lists introduces in services
which would delay ChanServ from issuing the +o command ??

Servers in general is very fast, with responces from NS, OS, MS, and CS
within well below a second.  Ping times also verified this (although I
know it is not a accurate measure).  However, when a user which is on a
AOP list joins a channel, ChanServ takes about 3 to 4 seconds before it
will issue the OP command.

What it may be related to, is the:
# MergeChannelModes <seconds>  [OPTIONAL]
				in the services config.  HOWEVER, if this
is the case, shouldn't MergeChannelModes only come into a affect AFTER a
netsplit has accured, or am I misunderstanding the directive, in that it
will keep all channel change requests in a "queue" type fashion for the
ammount of time specified in the configuration?

For those interested, in discussion here, is Bahamut1.4(28), and services
4.5.28.  I look forward to your replies and suggestions.
