Hi all,

I'm having a problem with my away script and multi-servers.

If I am not fully connected to a server the script locks up.

Code:

 
alias awaystart { 
  unset %opaway*
  W.Var Away Away Yes
  .timeraaway off
  var %tempaway 1
  while (%tempaway &lt;= $scon(0)) {
    scon %tempaway
    if (($chan(0) != 0) &amp;&amp; ($server != $null)) {
      echo -a $timestamp $GR(You are now marked as Away on $network)
      ;      .raw away $R.Var(Away,CReason)
      if ($R.Var(Away,Nick) == On) { 
        W.Var Away Normal $me
        if ($R.Var(NickKeeper,Power) == on) {
          W.Var NickKeeper Power off
          timer 1 10 W.Var NickKeeper Power on 
        }
        nick $R.Var(Away,Nickname)
      }
      inc %tempaway
      if ($R.Var(Away,Silent) != On) { amsg $gr(I am now away. Time:) %spc $+ $time(h:nn tt) $gr(Reason:) %spc $+ $R.Var(Away,CReason) | .timeraway 0 [ [ $R.Var(Away,ADelay) ] ] awayrun }
      W.Var Away StartTime $ctime
    }
  }
  scon 1
  if ($dialog(awaysys) != $null) { did -b $dname 8 | did -e $dname 9 }
  .timertbar -o 0 1 tbar
}

The problem appears to be where I use
if (($chan(0) != 0) && ($server != $null)) {
as a check, as that's where it locks up.

Can anyone give me some advice on a way around this problem please?

Thanks in advance
Palz
