Sometimes aMule lost the connection and not reconnects automtically (that's happen when it's running after a few long days) . I made an BASH script for linux, that checks if aMule lost the connection and if yes, restart the aMule daemon.
The script simple checks if not downloading and if the total sources is less than 50, then restart.
In order to use the script, you need to put it in the folder
/etc/cron.hourly/ and call it "
amulereset" (without any .sh or any, because it only found with simple names)
sudo touch /etc/cron.hourly/amulereset
the result will be /etc/cron.hourly/amulereset
set some permissions:
sudo chmod 755 /etc/cron.hourly/amulereset
And...
sudo gedit /etc/cron.hourly/amulereset
then copy & paste the follow script:
#!/bin/bash
# some settings
host=localhost
port=4712
pass=YOUPASSWORD
# if the clients on quee is lees than the setted number, restart (if not downloading)
minClientOnQuee=50
#cheking the status
r=`amulecmd -h $host -p $port -P $pass -c status`
#retrieving info
download=`echo $r | grep -o 'Download: .* Up' | sed -e 's/Download: //' -e 's/ > Up//' | sed -e 's/Download: //' -e 's/ kB\/s//' | sed -e 's/Download: //' -e 's/ bytes\/sec//'`
upload=`echo $r | grep -o 'Upload: .* Cl' | sed -e 's/Upload: //' -e 's/ kB\/s > Cl//'`
ed2k=`echo $r | grep -o 'eD2k: .* Kad' | sed -e 's/eD2k: //' -e 's/ > Kad//'`
kad=`echo $r | grep -o 'Kad: .* Dow' | sed -e 's/Kad: //' -e 's/ > Dow//'`
clientsOnQuee=`echo $r | grep -o 'Clients in queue: .* > Tot' | sed -e 's/Clients in queue: //' -e 's/ > Tot//'`
totalSources=`echo $r | grep -o 'Total sources: .*' | sed -e 's/Total sources: //' -e 's/ //'`
#some echo's for debug
echo "Download : $download"
echo "Upload : $upload"
echo "clientsOnQuee : $clientsOnQuee"
echo "totalSources : $totalSources"
# only if not downloading
if [ "$download" = 0 ]
then
if [ "$clientsOnQuee" -lt "$minClientOnQuee" ]
then
/etc/init.d/amule-daemon restart
exit
fi
fi
exit
i hope this help somebody
