#
# Purpose: keep a set of nicks on freenode active so they are not dropped in the random purges
#          or on request after (currently) 60 days
#
# Caveats: does not handle PING/PONG or timeouts
#
# Requires: bash (compiled with TCP support (so anything NOT Debian/Ubuntu pre-Karmic), ping, timeout
