mod_ping_muc: Delay ping a configurable amount of time If a server is restarting, checking immediately before it has a chance to complete its restart and get ready would often fail, preventing the possibility of transparent restarts as supported by Prosody's mod_muc. Reconnecting immediately when a connection is closed for being idle, or because the remote server is trying to reclaim some resources, is also counter-productive as the connection may fail. Also, if there is some Internet routing problem affecting s2s, it may help to wait a bit before checking, in case the problem resolved itself in the mean time.

summary: Install adhoc command bots in MUCs
---

# Introduction

This module allows you to "install" bots on a MUC service (via config for
now, via adhoc command and on just one MUC to follow). All the adhoc commands
defined on the bot become adhoc commands on the service's MUCs, and the bots
can send XEP-0356 messages to the MUC to send messages as any participant.

# Configuration

List all bots to install. You must specify full JID.

    adhoc_bots = { "some@bot.example.com/bot" }
	
And enable the module on the MUC service as usual

    modules_enabled = { "muc_adhoc_bots" }
