Simply rename the binary? or create a symbolic link...

On most shells, this would be some something like this:

Code: Select all

#Rename like this:
mv eggdrop Joe
#or create symbolic link like this:
ln -s eggdrop Joe

Renaming files isn't really an eggdrop-issue, but simple filesystem/shell/etc operations. The same actions apply for the eggdrop binary as for any other file, including non-eggdrop files.

1. Windows or *nix?

2. Are you running three different instances of the binary, or same binary but three different config files?

I'm running the latter - I can see which bot is which by the names of the config files following the ./eggdrop command:

Code: Select all

$ ps -fu utserver
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
utserver 29219     1  0 Mar06 ?        00:00:10 ./eggdrop avon.conf
utserver 27815     1  0 Mar06 ?        00:00:10 ./eggdrop xan.conf
utserver 23218     1  0 Mar06 ?        00:00:10 ./eggdrop romeo.conf
