What is "batch mode" ? How to rotate servers?

[MikeHawkener 0]

the help documentation just says "for non-interactive mode"

I was wonder if it might be a feature that batch uses different servers? like rotates them every certain amount of time so you don't use the same server over a long period time ?

Is there any feature in Eddie that allows this?

If you launch Eddie CLI, Eddie is in interactive mode. n to connect, x to exit. You must interact with it for it to do something.
If you provide --batch, Eddie parses the arguments literally; if something is missing, defaults are used or an error is thrown.

No. You must set up something yourself if you need a feature like that.

thanks @Tech Jedi Alex

I figured that with so little no documentation, it wouldn't provide a feature like that. I just couldn't understand any use case for the batch mode as currently implemented. you could just add 'connect' ('connect=True') and it'll automatically connect. I mean 2 options 'x' and 'n' makes the interactive mode almost irrelevant. you can always do Ctrl-C, so now you don't need 'x', 'n' would be useful if you could cycle servers in the servers.allowlist. but it usually just reconnects to the same server. oh well I guess it'll be fun making my own scripts
