# $EPIC: reconnect,v 1.3 2001/05/03 21:53:30 jnelson Exp $
Synopsis:
reconnect [<reason>]
Description:
There are times when your server connection gets "stuck" and things just
are not working correctly. Sometimes this is due to lag, sometimes this
is due to a server bug, and sometimes this is (gasp, horror) due to a bug
in EPIC. Sometimes you want to change your REALNAME or your IRCNAME.
No matter what the cause, whenever you need to disconnect from the server
and immediately reconnect again, use the RECONNECT command.
If you provide a "reason" it will be used as your QUIT message.
This command behaves in a way very similar to doing a DISCONNECT
followed by an appropriate SERVER.
EPIC will (attempt to) rejoin your channels after the reconnection
succeeds. EPIC does not guarantee that non-current channels will be
put back in the same window as before the reconnection. This is not
a bug, but is a limitation of EPIC. Only current channels (and bound
windows) will go back to the same window.
RECONNECT always reconnects to the server of the current window.
You cannot RECONNECT to a server other than your current window's
server. This may be changed in the future.
