Script executes on one bot but not on the other

Hi all,

I wrote a very simple script to set a mode to my channels. I have a production bot and a testbot on the same network. The testbot runs the script without any problems, but the production bot doesn't trigger it at all. I checked with .binds that the command is bound, and with .whois that I have the nescesarry flags.

this is the script:

Code: Select all

bind pub (m) !set mcm:set

proc mcm:set {nick host handle chan args} {
	set script [lindex [join $args] 0]
	set what [lindex [join $args] 1]
	if {$what == ""} {
		putserv "NOTICE $nick :Error. No settings specified. Use !set <script> <on|off>"
		return
	} elseif { $what == "on"} {
		set what "+"
		set notice "enabled"
	} else {
		set what "-"
		set notice "disabled"
	}
	channel set $chan $what$script
	puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :$script $notice"
}

on testbot it runs as it is supposed to.
on productionbot it doesn't even trigger the command.
I'm owner of both bots, the command shows in both .binds commands but it only gets triggered on testbot.
Oh yeah, I also restarted the productionbot, didn't do the trick either.

Give this a try.

Code: Select all

bind pub m|m !set mcm:set

proc mcm:set {nick host handle chan text} {
	if {[scan $text {%s%s} script mode] != 2} {
		puthelp "NOTICE $nick :Error, no settings specified. Use !set <script> <on|off>"
	}
	catch {channel get $chan $script} err
	if {$err!=0} {
		puthelp "NOTICE $nick :Error, the $script setting doesn't exist!"
		return
	}
	switch -- [string tolower $mode] {
		"on" {
			if {[channel get $chan $script]} {
				puthelp "NOTICE $nick :Error, the $script setting is already enabled."
			} else {
				channel set $chan +$script
				puthelp "NOTICE $nick :The $script setting has been disabled."
			}
		}
		"off" {
			if {![channel get $chan $script]} {
				puthelp "NOTICE $nick :Error, the $script setting is already disabled."
			} else {
				channel set $chan -$script
				puthelp "NOTICE $nick :The $script setting has been disabled."
			}			
		}
	}
}

Haven't tested so load it on test bot and see if it works. Reply back if you got any issues.

it returns error code 1

//edit:
If I remove the part that catches the error code it works on testbot

//edit2:
If I load it on the production bot, just like my own code, it doesn't execute.

What versions of eggdrop and TCL you got there?

mrNobody · Post by **mrNobody** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 5:33 am

eggdrop 1.6.21, tcl version 8.5.11
It runs on a raspberry pi with debian linux. Both bots run on the same machine with virtually the same config file.

Where do you see that error code 1?

I made it putlog $err

And you don't get any notice from the bot with that error?

no, the bot stays otherwise silent

I found what was causing this problem, apparently my production bot had the wrong hostname for my user, so it didn't trigger the script. updated the hostname and now it works as it should, thanks for your help though!
