Thank you for that, I'll experiment further.

OIdent is new to me, does anyone know of an online guide or pdf file so I can learn more??

Hi All I'm running several bots from a shell with OIdent on it and want each bot to have its own Ident. I have used the TCL script: OIdent.tcl as recommeded in these forums. However, when the bot with the script starts up, I get: --- Tcl error [OI:Set]: can't read "ident": no such variable...

The following is handy if you are on IRC via psyBnc and want your bot to ask the bouncer for ops when it joins a channel (if it pings out, say): First, make a little script with the following lines and place it in the scripts folder (I called it bncop.tcl): bind need - "% op" Need_Ops proc...

Hmm, how odd, this was showing on the eggdrop forum then vanished and reappeared here! Whatever. . Yes, thank you for that, I shall check the Vhosts and also check with the shell provider to see if anything has changed. UPDATE: I removed the VHost the bot was using in My-IP as you suggested and it c...

Thanks for that - I've just killed it and restarted but it still times out trying to connect. It's been like it for 24 hours now.

Could it be a shell problem i.e. shell lost IRC connection or such?

Hi all I've had an eggdrop running for some months. Yesterday it pinged out and, since then, just cycles through its server list, always displaying the message: "Timeout: connect to abc.server.xyz" where "abc.server.xyz" is one of the servers on its list. I've restarted but to no...

Thank you for putting my mind at rest.

Hi I've always used Telnet to contact my eggdrops. However, having opened a port in my router, I can now DCC to them. Every time I .quit the bot I get the message: "*** Ja mata!" This happens with all bots. Have I been attacked / infected with something or is this normal Eggdrop DCC behavi...

Ah, it was within the CTCP bind!

Thank you very much both of you

Hi all I currently run a script that uses pubm to look in the channel text for certain key words and acts accordingly i.e. bind pubm - "% *hello*" Greeting will cause the bot to greet if anyone says "Hello". I would like to also cature and parse the /me action line as well, for i...

I shall investigate FreeBSD forthwith.

Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you - I shall try that

My bot is on several channels.

One of those channels is a private, keyed channel for family members.

I would like the bot to op anyone who joins that keyed channel (cos they have the password) without introducing them to the bot (which might affect security on other channels).

Any ideas?

Yes, that works fine, thank you, I should be able to finish it myself now Plus my lovelife looks safer ....

Hmm, I think I'm getting there, I now have: # Bindings bind pubm - "% *hello*" Greeting bind pubm - "% *Hello*" Greeting proc Greeting {nick uhost hand chan text} { global our_chan if {$chan != $our_chan} {return 0} set num {rand [4]} if {$num == 0} {putserv "PRIVMSG $our_ch...
