POE::Component::IRC::Cookbook::Disconnecting - How to disconnect gracefully with PoCo-IRC
Shutting down an IRC bot can be quick and messy, or slow and graceful.
There are two ways you can shut down an IRC bot/client. The quick and dirty way is rather simple:
exit;
It exits the program, shutting down the socket, and everybody online sees yet another "Connection reset by peer" or "Remote end closed the socket" or something.
There's a little dance you can do to send a quit message and log out gracefully. It goes like this:
QUIT command to the IRC server, with your quit message.
irc_disconnected to come back.
register => 'all' you probably
posted near the connect command, but replace register with unregister.
Once POE::Component::IRC knows your session isn't interested, it lets you go
and things shut down.
