Restart Shell

[worn escarp]

Hello. I am running a bot that (I try to) runs 24/7.

It constantly edit a message with some live data and a graph made with matplolib.

The bot always stop with the message Restart: Shell after a couple of hours.

Any idea how to fix this and make the bot rly run 24/7?

[brave flame]

it depends on how you set your bot up

[raw perch]

You could pay for a bot host online and that would be 24/7 but paid, or you could somehow have your pc its hosted on be up 24/7

My pc is on 24/7

It's the script that stops randomly

No error at all. It just says "Restart shell" like in the picture

You could write a simple python forever script

that would just reboot the bot if it exists.

A script for starting the script again?

from subprocess import Popen
import sys

filename = sys.argv[1]
while True:
    print("\nStarting " + filename)
    p = Popen("python " + filename, shell=True)
    p.wait()

insteead of using python start.py

you would run python forever.py start.py

Yeah. Can use this temporarly. But it's just hiding a bug/Mistake

[knotty cape]

the restart shell btw, is when you are using the python shell to execute your programs

it's not built for executing longer duration stuff

[worn escarp]

Ohhhh

This might be the issue.

What would you recommend for running a program 24/7

literally any other shell/command prompt
