uptime module

I don't know why or if I didn't edit something right or what but for some reason my bot isn't showing up on the uptime contest list running eggdrop v1.6.13, on Linux 2.2.21-WF. The eggdrop has been running for more than 9 hours.... Online for 09:32 (background)

[ 07:39:pm ] [NotRealNick] Shell uptime - 8:38pm up 150 days, 2:09, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.17, 0.20

There are two possible causes.

First. Has a previous version of your bot shown up?

Regardless, check that you have the uptime module compiled and loaded.

Otherwise, it could be a firewall problem.

Many providers block outgoing packets, and simple firewall rules like "drop all", with "accept 80", "accept 22" will kill the packets.

Its probably my shell provider. I was just asking because I've never ran the uptime module before. The uptime module is loaded I had seen it load when I had first started the eggdrop.

[NotRealNick] Modules loaded:
[NotRealNick] Module: gseen (v1.1)
[NotRealNick] Module: uptime (v1.2)

You should ask your shell provider if they do block these packets.

It's most likely a yes.

They can then do one of two things, allow packets to the uptime server (if need be, only allowing traffic to this sevrer), or refuse.

May I know what type of packets an eggdrop with the uptime module is sending? I'm asking cos I would like to participate myself and tell my admin to not block 'em or something.

They are UDP packets.

They are sent to "uptime.eggheads.org" port 9969.

Ok. Thanks for the fill in.
