How can the bot IDENTIFY itself to NickServ?

[netstrider]

Hey, I have a problem which I don't believe is that big if you know what you're doing lol. One simple question how can I make the bot identify itself everytime it gets connected to IRC ?

Code: Select all

bind evnt - init-server identify

proc identify init-server {
  putquick "PRIVMSG NickServ :IDENTIFY USER PASS"
}

OR you can set it in the conf file in the servers section

Code: Select all

# The format is:
#   server[:port[:password]]
#
# Both the port and password fields are optional; however, if you want to set a
# password you must also set a port. If a port isn't specified it will default to
# your default-port setting.
set servers {
network name{s}:port:password
}

@Callisto:
That would generally be for password-protected connections, not nickserv...
I guess there might be some nickserv-implementations that use the PASS irc command for authentication, although I'd find that non rfc1459-comliant...

Quite possibly but it seems to work on bahamut based IRCDs (dalnet etc) although I admit it doesnt always work after a netsplit if services also splits. Sorry to mislead anyone

On most networks running nickserv the serverpass is forwarded as nickserv password.
for handling netsplits you should consult the script archive, it holds a pretty amount of scripts dealing with nickserv. Some with more, some with less functionality and reliability.

I wrote a script that auto identifies to NickServ whenever NickServ is detected as coming online.

It uses Bahamut's "watch" feature which some IRCd's now implement, Unreal being just one.

Manual identification can be done via DCC also using:

Code: Select all

.identify

I wonder why you send the password only when the nickserv comes online and not when you change the nick name, also I doubt the watch will do any good without beeing within the init-server proc... (unless you have a init-server bind which rehashs the bot )

Good grief!

Do you even know what 'watch' does?

Thanks, but where exactly do I add that? in the .chan file or what ? Thanks in advance

while you could add it there, you really should add it at the proper section in the eggdrop.conf.
