I know from many different online-based programs that they disconnect you from the server if your pc goes into hibernation. mIRC actually does not diconnect then which will result in a ping timeout after 2-5 minutes which is really not what I want. I could manually disconnect every single server but they are many and why do I even have to? It would be way easier if mIRC just disconnects me and then reconnects on waking up (which it already does since the connection is lost then).

I'd really appreciate if this could be implemented.

Do you have Alt-O > Connect > Options > Check Connection Time Out enabled?

Yes I do. I think that's what reconnects me after I woke my pc up.

This has been annoying me for a while as well, so I just wrote a DLL that allows a script to perform the disconnections. If you're interested, you can find it here: power.zip. As with many of my DLLs though, I hope it will be obsoleted by native mIRC support at some point.

I'd really like to see this implemented as well.


You don't need to disconnect them one by one; just type /scid -a quit in any window to disconnect them all at once.

Yeah, thanks. Now mIRC disconnects as I start hibernating.

Just one problem: I cannot reconnect to every server as I want. I use /server on resume, but since I use a bnc server for 3 connections it will always connect with the same data (password) which leads me to the same account. Or does mIRC auto-reconnect even though I used /quit before?

It won't automatically reconnect if you /quit, but you could use timers with the /server command after doing the /quit so that when your machine resumes the timers will reconnect you.

~ Edit ~
I'm assuming the timers will also resume after waking from hibernation. I could be wrong though, it's happened a time or two.

The on resume event does the same thing, it sends "/scon -a /server". But "/server" without parameters would connect you to the "last server used". It works for all normal (direct) connections but messes up my bouncer ones. Dunno why, but that's how it is.

Timers have an offline switch. I'd also assume they are working after hibernating but it's pretty unsafe to set a constant time as my pc sometimes takes longer. Alternatively you could define a time like 6:00 and hope it's triggered afterwards while passing in hibernation. But this does not solve the problem mentioned above, if I understood you correctly.

Edit: Btw, I'll try using three different server groups. I assume that this would solve the problem (just recognized it) though it would be untidy in my server list. w/e

Edit2: Does not work. Even though I used three different groups and descriptions /server still only connects to the first one with that address in the whole list, three times ...
