eggdrop not running in bg, but in fg

Post by micro »

Hi, i truly have an error i am really proud of.

I recompiled an eggdrop without tcl-threads, and startet it again.

Before, i was able to connect in bg and in fg.

Now the same bot, without tcl-threads, same config, so also same network etc.

if i start the bot in BG he does startup normal, but does not do anything, nor does it touch it the logfile or does it connect. Even "strace -p botpid" does not give out any output.

If i start the same bot with -n option for foreground, it does connect fine, lauch channels etc. only in bg he s... up ;)


------------------------------------------
Launching into bg ( bot is not doing anything after that, no open logfile, no connection to irc, no requesting of sockets ...)

more info

Post by micro »

so, as far as i can see, the bot only connects if it runs witin 3 processes.

Before compiling without tcl-threads the bot always ran 3 processes (is that some kind of harmfull to any Network/Trust/cpu, by harmfull i mean, does it connect 3 times? it does take 3 ports to communicate with one of my other bots for sure, but y? ...)

now if i start the bot in bg, he spawns just one process, but with starting with -n option, it forks up to 3 processes.

may there be an error or is it just that tcl-threads are disabled and i need them.

did you manage to solve this?
I have the same problem.
running debian 2.6.8, and when running the bot with only the -m trigger, it starts off ok, but does nothing. doesn't join irc, and I can't telnet the bot. only when running with -n it starts off ok (just like with -m) but it actually works!
this is driving me insane.

any ideas?

I can honestly say I have no idea about this one. I personally have never come across it. Are you all using 1.6.17?

Post by joe23 »

I tried using v1.6.17, v1.6.16 and v1.6.13 :/
I've installed alot of bots before, and suddenly this happens.
any ideas will be most appreciated!

for me it helped just to recompile eggdrop.

no messing with tcl (;
dunno how long i had that tcl-version before i got this problem.

i had a crash yesterday so i thought that was the problem, but seemed to be something else. don't remember compiling tcl recently, tho ^^

well, works fine again now. thanks folks
