     You have to start it up manually; when the main one comes back, the
backup will not reintroduce its clients after the nick collisions, while
the main one will.  However, some IRC servers have weird nick collision
handling which prevents this from working, and it hasn't been tested
recently, so I'd recommend not using it, or at least testing it before you
try it live.
