I can only assume you're saying the bot does not start, since you're not being clear or giving any details or error messages.

Perhaps your shell provider limits the number of background processes?

Easy way to find out, does the bot connect when started with -n (dont background)?

Hey the bot will go online with

Code: Select all

./eggdrop -n <botname>.conf

Then it would seem your shell does restricts the number of background processes (asuming they all run the same binary).

Wether they're using the same executable file, or if you compiled a new set of files for each eggdrop...

check what you have set for this variable in your conf file:

Code: Select all

 set temp-path "temp/"

# Set here a place to store temporary files.
set temp-path "/tmp"

The above is the correct setting for eggdrop (as opposed to windrop).
