Hi,

this day my bot disconnectet from IRC but he's still running.
Supporter from my Shell_hosting-Service told me to kill the bot.

kill -9 <pid>

My Pid file is called pid.^VictorY^
The main point is by running >kill -9 pid.^Victory^< I get an error message whitch is told me that no such pid.^Victory^ is found.

Whats the problem? I need my Eggdrop.

Plz Help
THx

In the pid.^VictorY^ he stored an number, that number is in fact it's pid. And why do you want it to be killed? Have you tryed to telnet in and see what is happening why he dosen't get back on irc?

Your provider may not support/allow you telnet into the shell, but you should still be abel to telnet into the bot, using the IP address specified int eh config file, and the port you have used in the "listen user" command ("listen all" if you didn't make it specific).

try SSH to the box the eggdrop is running on.
Do a the "ps x" command.

You will see what you are running.

You will see something like this

PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
27050 pts/2 S 0:00 -bash
27076 pts/2 R 0:00 ps x

Then use kill -9 <pid>
use the number
