A repeat loop is not the best way to go here. What you need to do is watch
for the server error stating that the connection class is full. I just
tried a busy undernet server and got this message:
Closing Link: earthling by montreal.qu.ca.undernet.org (Sorry, your
connection class is full - try again later or try another server)
To trap this error message, you'll need to include the ircerror() handler in
your script. In this handler, you might want to test the contents of the
error string to see if it contains "connection class is full". If so,
you'll want to have the script try the next server.
on ircerror(con, source, sourcehost, str)
tell application "ircle"
echo "IRC Error: \"" & str & "\" on connection " & con & "."
end tell
if str contains "connection class is full" then
-- connection failed - try the next server
end if
return false
end ircerror

Yes, you can do:
exit repeat

No, no, no. IRCLE calls that handler, not you! Did you read my reply to
your last message explaining how Ircle event handlers and loaded scripts
work??
You don't RUN the script, you LOAD the script into Ircle (either via the
/load command, or by setting the script as the Startup Script in Scripts
preferences).
on numeric(con, command, thestring)
if (command = 376) then -- end of MOTD (server should be ready now)
-- send server commands
end if
return false
end numeric
While the script is loaded into Ircle, IRCLE will call the numeric() handler
in your script whenever a numeric event happens, then your handler will have
to act appropriately.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Ircle wouldn't run the script". Yes,
thestring is definitely needed in this Ircle handler. Ircle will definitely
expect thestring to be in the parameter list when Ircle calls the handler as
a result of a numeric event. I'm not sure what you are doing, but something
is wrong if you are having to remove a parameter...

Was that a result of you removing the thestring parameter?

Not sure either - I haven't seen any of your code. ;-)

BTW... Thanks for the events script. Mine wasn't complete for some reason.
Welcome.
