is there a way to get a reply from another server
on the same network, i.e. to detect lag times between
different servers..
one way to find out would be doing /whois nick nick
for someone who is on that specific server, but i'm
looking for something different..

I just tried it and there's no actual result, just a reply containing the URL of the leaf server.
/raw ping qld-chat.telstra.com
[23:56:25] * PONG from chat.telstra.com: qld-chat.telstra.com
Maybe you'd be better off using DOS and ping the IRC server directly.

no, if i ping the irc server directly i wont get the
the lag between two servers, only the lag between
my localhost and the server
but you're right, /quote ping :server.net only
returns reply from the server i'm on

I've just browsed my server's help file (HelpServ). On this one at least it's not possible to do this.

you could use a timer to trigger a variable that will count the seconds it takes it get the reply. I myself would show an example but I am to tired to thing at the moment.

This works on some networks, not on others alias serverping {
set -u60 %serverping. $+ $$1 $ticks
.raw time $1
}
raw 391:*:if %serverping. [ $+ [ $nick ] ] {
echo -a * ServerPing from $nick $+ : $calc(($ticks - $ifmatch)*.001) seconds
unset %serverping. $+ $nick
halt
}

thanx, RPL_TIME is exactly what i was looking for at least on ircnet all servers seem to reply maybe should have checked the rfc  only question is if it is considered impolite to send a time request to the servers once in a minute or so

Alias SPING if ($0) { set -u300 $+(%,SPING.,$1) $ticks } | .raw PING $ticks $1
On *:PONG: {
if ( $$2 isnum ) {
echo $colour(ctcp) -at [[ $+ $1 PING reply]: $calc($ticks - $2) $+ ms
}
elseif ( $2 == $me ) && ( $eval($+(%,SPING.,$1),2) ) {
echo $colour(ctcp) -at [[ $+ $1 PING reply]: $calc($ticks - $ifmatch) $+ ms
unset $+(%,SPING.,$1)
} }- Raccoon PS. From what I gather, the syntex of the server PING command is: PING [numalpha] [distant_server]numalpha ::= <0-9> <any_characters> the data must begin with a digit to return that value, else it will return your nick instead. If a server is specified, it will always return your nick, so the data you pass is ignored. :irc.server.com PONG irc.server.com :12345678:irc.server2.com PONG irc.server2.com :Raccoon

That doesn't seem to work with some servers, I get no reply at all from some.
