log full channel

[Rebel]

Hallo,

i read thhe README and the Documentation (patly).
I found the sentence "There are others, but you probably shouldn't log them, it'd be rather unethical ."

I want to log all things that are said on teh channel.
Later i want to create channel statistics from this files.
What options have i to use?

tail -f logs/hegabi.log has not helped.

in my config is this line: logfile mcojpksbxw #hegabi "logs/hegabi.log"

whats wrong?
thanks for any help.
and, please, sorry for my bad english, i am a german. *g*

The more important logging option are located in the config file.

The other log flags that it refers to, can be seen by looking at ".help console" in the partyline (the logging system uses exactly the same flags).

From what I can see, you have all the flags you will need to do logging.

What exactly are you finding wrong with your logs?

There are scripts dedicated to making logs that can be parsed by the likes of mIRCstats, and other stats scripts.

My Problem is:
This is the copy-and.paste from my Xchat-Window:
--> You are now talking on #hegabi
--- Topic for #hegabi is Wer andern eine Bratwurst brät, hat ein Bratwurstbratgerät!
--- Topic for #hegabi set by [Rebel] at Tue Dec 3 10:04:24
--- ChanServ sets mode +q #hegabi [Rebel]
--- ChanServ gives channel operator status to [Rebel]
<[Rebel]> hallo HomoFaber
--- HomoFaber2 is now known as HomoFaber
<[Rebel]> whats up?



And thats the console outout on the server which the bot is running on:
[root@geeko root]# tail -f /home/eggdrop/eggdrop/logs/hegabi.log.2002-12-03.log
[11:43] Regained alternate nickname 'HomoFaber2'.
[11:44] Switching back to nick HomoFaber
[11:44] Nick change: HomoFaber2 -> HomoFaber
[11:44] Regained nickname 'HomoFaber'.
[11:44] -NickServ (services@euirc.net)- This nickname is registered and protected. If it is your
[11:44] -NickServ (services@euirc.net)- nick, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password. Otherwise,
[11:44] -NickServ (services@euirc.net)- please choose a different nick.
[11:44] -NickServ (services@euirc.net)- If you do not change within one minute, I will change your nick.
[11:44] NICK IN USE: HomoFaber (keeping 'HomoFaber').
[11:45] #hegabi (+trn) : [m/1 o/0 h/0 v/0 n/1 b/0 e/0 I/0]

But i exspected "Hallo HomoFaber" and "Whats up?" to appear in the logfile, becaue it was said on the channel. Am i wrog with that?

The 2nd problem is, that the bot is running on the dsl-router, when the dsl router disconnects after 24h (IPS-forced) than the bott wil reconnect but cannot use the nickname any longer because of password problems.
"server:port:password" is the syntax, and i made it like the syntax tells me.
But maybe i can fix this problem by performing the ghost-command every time the bot connects. i don't know how to do this, but i haven't read teh part of the documentation where this might stand.

I don't know if it would help, but try removing non-channel specific flags from the logging command.

IE, some flags are not related to channel logging.

[Rebel]

Thanks a lot.
on't know if it was this point or if i made a mistake before, but it works now.

Ever were afraid of setting up an eggdrop, but it was so easy.
And the idea with the die() in teh config files, i think i implement such things in my scripts too. that prevents from being spamed by total lamers.


thx a lot, and, let OpenSource rule the world! (some day)

Open Source is flawed like all comercial closed source programs.

Programmers would make very little money, should everything be ope source.

Each company hiring there own programmers, to build there own software, making the source open.

It would be a "Who's got the cheapest contract" rush, with code rippingleft right and center.

Open Source however, has paved the way for many more open based systems, where compatibility is no longer a issue.

Microsoft paved the wya in software, due to there sheer size, and the fact that no company could create a software line (the sheer amount of choice) like theres. This meant that deomination was the only way.

Open source is larger than people think. It may only look like a little on the surface, due to the fact there is no definative map of who is creating what (IE, you can't goto a warehouse and see every single programmer at work in one day). However, more bugs can be fixed, more software created, software created faster, beta testing completed quicker (and with a better suited audience) and numerious other things, due tot he fact that any1 can get involved, without invertaion, and they are.
