+KeepStatus plugin for Miranda IM v0.0.2.x

+unregistered@users.sourceforge.net

+

+--- About ---

+

+KeepStatus, a connection checker, for use with (or without)

+StartupStatus and/or AdvancedAutoAway.

+

+--- Usage ---

+

+There are two tabs in the options screen, one with basic options, and

+one with advanced options.

+

+The Basic Tab:

+

+[] Show popups, this will make use of the popup plugin to notify you

+in case of a connection loss or reconnect attempt.

+

+[] Check connection, with this option you can enable or disable the

+plugin.

+

+[count] Max. retries, in case connection is lost, this number of

+reconnect attempts will be made to restore the connection.

+

+[secs] Delay between retries, the number of seconds to wait before a

+new attempt is made.

+

+[] Don't reconnect if no internet connection seems available, if

+enabled, KS will not reconnect if Windows reports that no internet

+connection is available.

+

+[] Continuesly check for internet connection, if enables, KS will keep

+looking for a connection, either by asking Windows, or by pinging a

+host. You can specify multiple hosts by seperating them with

+spaces. If one host replies, a connection is assumed to be available.

+

+Note: All dial-up options are experimental. I cannot test these

+myself. Please let me know if you encounter problems with it (and you

+are willing to run some tests ;) )

+

+The Advanced Tab:

+

+[] Increase delay exponential, if enabled, the delay is multiplied by

+2 after each check. So checks are made  at t=10, t=20, t=40, t=40,

+t=40, etc. if "Max. delay" = 40, "Initial  delay" = 10, and connection

+was lost at t=0.

+

+[secs] Max. delay, the maximum delay allowed in case "increase delay

+exponential" is enabled.

+

+[secs] Max. protocol connecting time, -experimental-, this is the

+maximum number of seconds a protocol is allowed to be in the

+"connecting state" during a reconnect attempt. After this time, KS

+will force the protocol offline and make a new connection attempt.

+

+[] Ignore locked status of protocols, if enabled, KS will reconnect

+protocols in case of a global status change, even if they are locked

+by the clist (nicer/modern). You can enable this if protocols don't

+reconnect properly after a global status change using a clist that

+doesn't support locking.

+

+[] Set protocol offline before a connection attempt, this will force a

+protocol offline, before KS tries to restore its connection.

+

+[] Cancel all if a protocol connects from another location, this will

+not reconnect any of the protocols if one of them is connected from

+another location. The reason for this option is because not all

+protocols can detect a second login.

+

+[] Reconnect on APM resume, will reconnect you when you come back from

+standby or hibernation. If it for some reason fails, please try

+another clist.

+

+[] React on login errors, influences the way KS deals with login

+errors (default is to keep retrying). A login error can be "wrong

+password" or "server busy" for example.

+

+() Stop trying to reconnect, cancels reconnecting for the protocol.

+

+() Set delay to [secs], this will (possibly) increase the delay before

+a new attempt is made to restore the connection.

+

+Consider connection lost after [count] failed pings, tells KS how many

+ping attempts must fail before the connection should be considered

+"lost" and need to be restored.

+

+[secs] Continuously check interval, the delay between two pings.

+

+--- Notes ---

+

+All options regarding dial-up connections are experimental.
