Problems with starting my eggdrop

[Olli]

Hi,
if I start my eggdrop with:
./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf
diretly after installing and editing the config-file, I get the message, that the eggdrop started correct. But when I type /msg <mybot> hello, I alway get the message "no such nick/channel"

of course I checked the config-file several times, but I couldnt find anything, so i tried to start the eggdrop with
./eggdrop -n eggdrop.conf
aand: tadaa: the eggdrop replies to me, and recognizes me as Owner.
The big Problem: as far as is leave this "-n" mode with ctrl+c, the bot disconnects from the server, and theres no way, that he reconnects.
I tried many things, but i dont get it working

where could the fault be?!
any ideas?

telnet to the bot, login with NEW and see why it's not connecting to irc.

[Olli]

i cant establish a telnet connection, cause I get timeuts - no chance

an with -n it starts fast, correct, an everthing works fine. thats odd :-/

[greenbear]

are you allowed to run bg processes on that shell, then ?

[Olli]

Yes I am - at first Startup it workes, but if it's shut down, i dont get it up anymore

[Galadhrim]

try this:
- Boot using "./eggdrop -n eggdrop.conf"
- Press Ctrl+Z (Ctrl+C means kill process)
- type in "bg"

You should be able to logout etc, the eggdrop runs in the background.
