I just signed up with a shell provider which give me 4 background passes, which means (I assume) Ican setup 4 eggdrop bot. Question is, how do I setup each bot. each in a different drectory?
Generally, you can set up one set of eggdrop bot files with a separate config file for each bot you want to create. Do be aware though that some scripts won't work properly when being accessed by multiple bots working off the same set of bot files. Trivia.tcl is one such script, but you have to find out which ones won't work by trial and error.

So all I have to do is create a new config file for the new bot and just use the same eggdrop files as for the first bot, correct?
That's a simple matter. Just make the names of the channel, user and notes files match up with the particular bot's name and they'll be created when you initially launch each bot.
I think he is asking if more than one bot can run off the same set of eggdrop files, and that's something I've been doing with as many of five bots at one time. When space is limited on a shell, doing it this way is really quite efficient.

I can understand this, my goal in the rely, was to point this out, as while your reply didn't state it precely (didn't need to), his reply didn't exactly show he understoof this.
