View Full Version : Exempting Mods and higher from server load messages

Hi there!
I've searched for this one and didn't find anything.
We're on a pretty high-load server, and have set the load limit at 6.75. We have already applied some optimizations in an attempt to avoid this altogether, we're on a shared server so the load isn't entirely our fault :P

Our staff needs to continue to do their staff stuff regardless of server traffic conniptions, but are stuck sitting and waiting for the load to decrease so they can get back to work.

What we could really use is a hack that will recognize logged in mods, supermods and admins and exempt them from getting shut out because of a spike through the set server load limit.

Can anyone help please?
Thanks a ton!

Hey Gary - quick question...
This seems to work sporadically now… Every so often I personally am not exempted from the server load message, and some of our mods are having the same problem?

Caches have all been cleared, and global.php has not been tampered with since the hack was applied.
Any ideas what the problem could be?

You should next time reply to this hack by posting in the hack's support thread ;)

But anyways, about your situation: I can't really think of any reason that something like this would happen, because my code covers everywhere where you'd be able to get the server is busy error message.

The only explanation I can think of is that you/your staff isn't logged in when they got those error messages.
