After adding a reboot command, my Discord bot logs in and triggers the on_ready event but ignores all further commands. I’m new to programming and need assistance. Below is an alternative code example:
import os, sys, discord
from discord.ext import commands
new_bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')
def reboot_bot():
interpreter = sys.executable
os.execl(interpreter, interpreter, *sys.argv)
@new_bot.event
async def on_ready():
print(f'{new_bot.user} is online!')
@new_bot.command()
async def restart(ctx):
await ctx.send('Restarting bot...')
reboot_bot()
new_bot.run('YOUR_DISCORD_TOKEN')
I encountered a similar complication in one of my projects where the abrupt restart method was causing unflushed coroutine issues in the event loop. I eventually decided to implement a graceful shutdown that closes connections and properly finalizes pending tasks before attempting a reboot. This approach allowed the bot to finish its current operations and clean up resources. It might be worthwhile to consider adding a delay or a device that ensures all asynchronous operations conclude properly, so that when the bot restarts, it re-registers commands as expected without missing any call responses.
hey, had simlar prblem with abrupt restarts. try doing a graceful shutdown by waiting for pending tasks to complete before rebooting. in my case, a short pause & proper async close solved issues. check that cmd r regestered post restart.
Considering similar issues I encountered recently, it seems that the asynchronous restart command may be interfering with the command event loop. The reboot function using os.execl is abrupt and might be preventing pending tasks from completing properly. In my experience, introducing a graceful shutdown procedure, where you await completion of critical tasks before closing, can help prevent these issues. Additionally, verifying that any warm-up commands post-restart are properly re-registered may also resolve the problem.
In my experience, the abrupt reboot using os.execl can sometimes prevent the event loop from properly concluding its tasks, which may lead to commands not being processed after a restart. I solved this by implementing a more controlled shutdown that waits for pending asynchronous operations to finish before initiating the reboot. This method provided enough time for the bot to gracefully close all connections and properly reinitialize upon restart. Experimenting with a timed delay before reconnecting proved beneficial in making sure commands were fully re-registered.
