I also bumped into this issue randomly out of the blue on my Raspberry Pi running Raspbian Stretch Lite. Is it because I have both the ethernet and the wireless...

I found a workaround for this by adding `ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c 'until ping -c1 discord.com; do sleep 1; done;'` under `[Service]` in the systemd service file for the bot. This ExecStartPre...

After some more poking around I found that if an exception isn't caught inside run_bot() and sys.exit() isn't called, the bot will hang inside the exception handler and shutdown handler....

On further thought, I realise that a catch all exception will probably not be acceptable, as it will catch exceptions during the running of the bot and not just at...

I suspect if any exception doesn't get caught by run_bot() while the bot is starting up then the hang will occur. ~~The question is does having a catch all exception...

I had a little more of a poke around and I think I found out the real cause of the hang: if red_exception_handler() catches an exception and calls shutdown_handler(), then...
