Bitlbee wont update (due to status).

30/07/2010

Today I noticed that Bitlbee didnt update my twitter lines..

I noticed that my away state was still filled with the away message. So I did the folowing to undo it.

11:30 < pieter@> set status

11:30 < root@> status = `away’

11:30 < pieter@> help set status

11:30 < root@> Type: string

11:30 < root@> Scope: both

11:30 < root@>

11:30 < root@> Certain protocols (like Jabber/XMPP) support status messages,

similar to away messages. They can be used to

indicate things like your location or activity, without showing up as away/busy.

11:30 < root@>

11:30 < root@> This setting can be used to set such a message.

It will be available as a per-account setting for protocols

that support it, and also as a global setting (which will then

automatically be used for all protocols that support it).

11:30 < root@>

11:30 < root@> Away states set using /away or the away setting will override this setting.

To un-set the setting, use set -del status.

11:30 < pieter@> set -del status

11:30 < root@> Setting changed successfully

11:31 < pieter@> account off

11:31 < pieter@> account on

And everything worked normall again.
