Invalid User File Format error

Post by mog25 »

Hi..Has there ever happened to anyone...

Sometimes when my shell reboots my bots don't get online and when I try to start them I get a "Invalid user file format" error and have to delete the *.user file and use the backup user file. It's weird... I use eggdrop 1.6.15 BTW. Any ideas?

This means the userfile got currupted when being written or is blank.

These are signs that the file was open for writting then the shell rebooted.

Only a restore from the backup will fix this.
