run pisg on old machine?

[clove]

i have an old k62 400 that hosts my bot and my webpage. everytime it updates pisg the bot drops off irc with error {ping timeout}. I have checked and pisg starts @ -10 nice (high priority) high do i set it to start low priority.
i have checked in the conf files i don't see it saying to run high anywhere? Is this possible and do you think it will help? I'm a nub at running linux and eggdrops. so if you can i help i need step by step directions plz.

Pisg is not related to Eggdrop, it can be set up to use Eggdrop's log-files to generate statistics.

Hell, that's faster than my p2/266, and I've never had the bot timeout from running pisg.. Are you using some pisg script within your bot? That may be the cause of your timeouts, not the pisg script itself (which can be run from cron or the commandline..) Ohh I should also mention, if you run pisg from a crontab or the shell, you can use 'nice' at the same time:

nice /path/to/pisg/pisg -n 10

If you run it from irc command then it will time out, without cache it takes me 30 min to generate stats and thats the reason it is timing out.

I think i there is some way of fixing it by using some command that dont make the bot wait for it to finish, but i cant remember how it is done, try searching this forum, or perhaps rosc2112 or Sir_Fz knows what command that is

Domin: I think you're reffering to either using 'open "|command"' or 'exec "command" &'.
'open' should work across most platforms without issues, but is abit more complex to get working, while 'exec' is pretty straight forward but depends alot on the capabilities of the platform (os).

I wouldt assume this tcl script works to:
