- Run an eggdrop
- make a script that makes on a channel, privmsg, dcccommand, run a second bot in one bot so it can connect to other ircs commanding the secondbot with out disconnectiong like when you open a program with the command open you still got an interface with the program write ?? well if i understand write can i make it so that it uses a second config file on activation and command them both from one dcc window like a slave bot within the bot ??

You can run a tcl script that will boot another bot apon a command from dcc. If you are using linux or os2 I know you can boot a second eggdrop in another shell. If you are runnning Windrop under windoze the second bot might have to be a renamed it to something like eggdrop2.exe in it's own folder. As for writing to file (If I understand you) with both bots going to the same source, that might cause fatal error if both bots write or use the file or data at the same time. However, it might be possiable to have two seprate files that are maintained by a yet third script which keeps them exactly the same, using the newer one as a template. (new after each write)
you mean like i can type in shell eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf well that i know don't need to rename windows exe either to do that, i want a second bot to boot from a tcl script and control it from the first bot is that possible and are there scripts out there allready to do so or .. ?

A guy named Travis ( vlad@intellex.com ) runs two eggdrops within a single shell, not sure how he does this with out the problems I've had trying to do it.
As for getting the bots to share the same files, I suggest you set it up to copy the file auto matically to the second folder of the second bot... You can bash it in unix by using the command string:(from the first bot, and repeat in the second, on the command line which writes)
