in 6.0.2+ we can inform the user whether the rehash actually succeeded
or not. This was already shown in the output, but we now also change
the last few lines of output to make very clear if the rehash failed
that the currently running UnrealIRCd is not patched.
like /home/xyz/unrealircd/unrealircd hot-patch instead. In other words,
if the current working directory is not the location of the unrealircd
script. Then calling ./unrealircd rehash, so the last step in the patching
process, would fail. Reported by k4be.

including version, description, author, flags. The output is
pretty much identical to "MODULE -all" on IRC as IRCOp.
Useful for the future if you want to verify a module has been
upgraded from the command line.
is done behind-the-scenes (the command is still ./unrealircd mkpasswd).
For Windows users it finally means they can generate passwords via the CLI
using: unrealircdctl mkpasswd pwdhere
"./unrealircd reloadtls" and there is now also a "./unrealircd status"
The output is colorized if the terminal supports it (just like on the
boot screen) and also the exit status is 0 for success and non-0 for
failure. The purpose of all this is that you can easily detect rehash
errors on the command line.
These three commands communicate to UnrealIRCd via the new control
UNIX socket, which is in ~/data/unrealircd.ctl.
This also does a lot of other stuff because we now have an internal
tool called bin/unrealircdctl which is called by ./unrealircd for
some of the commands to communicate to the unrealircd.ctl socket.
Later on more of the existing functionality may be moved to that
tool and we may also provide it on Windows in CLI mode so people
have more of the same functionality as on *NIX.
Exit status is now documented at https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Upgrading
and can be used to see the difference between:
* upgrade+configtest OK,
* upgrade OK but configtest failed
* some other failure
* no newer version available
Handy for scripting...
locations, and inform the user that they can specify a file.
This doesn't solve https://bugs.unrealircd.org/view.php?id=6021 completely
but at least makes the user aware of this.

loaded. The code to raise this warning was already present but it
was not being shown in many cases (when it actually should).
It now looks like this, if you run ./unrealircd start and previously
crashed AND have any 3rd party mods loaded:
The IRCd has been started now (and is running), but it did crash 1 seconds ago.
Crash report generated in: /home/ircd/unrealircd/tmp/crash.report.core.1621838267.txt
** IMPORTANT **
Your UnrealIRCd crashed and you have 3rd party modules loaded (modules created
by someone other than the UnrealIRCd team). If you installed new 3rd party
module(s) in the past few weeks we suggest to unload these modules and see if
the crash issue dissapears. If so, that module is probably to blame.
If you keep crashing without any 3rd party modules loaded then please do report
it to the UnrealIRCd team.
The reason we ask you to do this is because MORE THAN 95% OF ALL CRASH ISSUES
ARE CAUSED BY 3RD PARTY MODULES and not by an UnrealIRCd bug.
Shall I send a crash report to the UnrealIRCd developers?
NOTE: If the crash is caused by a 3rd party module then UnrealIRCd devs can't fix that.
we may have more database writing to do on terminate.
Actually 10 seconds would be really long, but 2-3 seconds may be
quite realistic if you have lots of TKLs, permanent channels,
reputation entries (users), etc.
Oh yeah, and I really hate writing PORTABLE shell code...
useful in the future. This would download a specific patch from
the unrealircd.org site, apply it, recompile, and then:
if it's a hot-patch it would rehash
if it's a cold-patch it would print a message that you should restart
the irc server.
This can still be enabled during ./Config by answering to the last question:
--with-asan
But it is no longer enabled by default since it causes a slowdown of X and
increases memory by a factor Y.
crashes (has a core file) to the crash bug report.
Also, disable leak detection since this is too noisy and would cause
a core dump each time + bothering the user to submit a crash report
+ send this crashreport etc. We still enable this in our own tests
though, but not for end-users.
The script symlinks any missing tmp/xxxx.so's to the real module name but
depends on English statements (ugly, yeah, but it works). With a non-English
locale this did previously not work so the backtrace was screwed.
* detect "ircd not running" situations better
* ./unrealircd stop now kills the ircd in a more friendly matter.
* if you run './unrealircd restart' it will now also start the ircd even if it was not presently running.
