Eggdrop startup problems after "autobotchk"

Post by BaerAC »

Hi ,
after installing Eggdrop 1.6.15 on a RedHat 7.3 System, i copied the "autobotchk" to my Eggdrop dir in /home/<USER>/eggdrop/ and set it to chmod u+x , and started it with ./autobotchk eggdrop.conf -10 and get the following :

autobotchk 1.10, (C) 2003 Jeff Fisher (guppy@eggheads.org)
------------------------------------------------------------

Opening 'eggdrop.conf' for processing ... done
Scanning the config file .............. done
Defaulting $botnet-nick to "|U|Slave"
Defaulting $pidfile to "pid.|U|Slave"
Wrote '|U|Slave.botchk' successfully (2278 bytes)
Scanning crontab entries ... done
Adding the new crontab entry ... done

Use 'crontab -l' to view all your current crontab entries
'crontab -r' to remove all your crontab entries


i checked it in the crontab list .. crontab was added.

Than i killed my bot (i tryed it with .DIE and another time with KILL <pid>)
waiting ... 10 Minutes .. 15 Minutes ... nothing happend.

Than i checked the system again and received an email from the cron deamon :

/bin/sh: /home/<USER>/eggdrop/: is a directory
/bin/sh: U: command not found


Anyone got an idea where the problem is ?
Maybe it got a problem with the "|"chars in the Bot nick ?

You are correct, the problem lie with the | character

THX :)

Problem fixed by not using the "|" . Maybe someday i will find a way to use the "|".
