start a process on startup

I have a bot that uses mysql but to do so when it first comes online I have to tell it to connect to the sql.
Is there anyway to have the bot do this automatically?

I think if you just put the init code straight into a tcl script file, not in a proc then it will be run when the script is loaded, which it will be when the bot is started.

Code: Select all

bind evnt - init-server my:connect
proc my:connect init-server {
# Code for connecting to mysql goes here
  }

Try this

bind evnt <flags> <type> <proc>
proc-name <type>

sighup
called on a kill -HUP <pid>

sigterm
called on a kill -TERM <pid>

sigill
called on a kill -ILL <pid>

sigquit
called on a kill -QUIT <pid>

save
called when the userfile is saved

rehash
called just after a rehash

prerehash
called just before a rehash

prerestart
called just before a restart

logfile
called when the logs are switched daily

loaded
called when the bot is done loading


connect-server
called just before we connect to an IRC server

init-server
called when we actually get on our IRC server

disconnect-server
called when we disconnect from our IRC server

so with the proc called by init-server you would also connect to the dbase when you are reconnecting to a server. so either use loaded or add a check if the bot is allready connected to the database
