Your '.tcl exec' command has nothing to do with the bgexec script, so you may as well unload it.

Your 'What? You need '.help'' message indicates that you have unbound (or rather, not bound it at all) the .tcl command. Looks like you did way too much pruning on your .conf file. Shouldn't have done that....

OK, so ive hashed out the bgexec parts in my config.

But i still dun understand why it just stopped working. i only want to use the eggdrop to execute 2 simple shell commands

!radio-up to start my shoutcast DJ software to stream to a server
and !shoutcast-up to start my own server that inturn relays to all servers i dj to.

Setting up an Eggdrop

I strongly advise not using apt.

[Monaro800]

As i said i couldnt get it to compile, im still trying.

Ive used APT purly out of need, sick of ppl idleing on my servers, just thaught if i was gonna use and eggie i might as well use it for other things.

Ill keep trying to compile it, sifting through the errors one at a time, with the aid of google
