why won't my bot connect?

[Stan]

when I ./eggdrop -m blah.conf every thing goes fine but the bot never shows up in the channel.

whats wrong here?????

You must insert enough servers in the config file.

You must also check that the bot is running, and has not dies after it has returned to the shell.

Type "ps x" to check this.

Also, You could check what the eggdrop is upto, before without it going into the background. To dot his, lauch the bot with "./eggdrop -mn config.file"

How do you insert enough servers in the config file? Is this done with Y lines?

Here are mine... are they right?
Y:1:90:500:10:4000000
Y:2:90:0:500:100000
Y:3:90:0:500:100000

i guess its done in this way..

add or modify the following in the blah.conf

#default server port
set default-port 6667

#and the server names
set servers {
toronto.on.ca.dal.net
twisted.ma.us.dal.net
mesra-e.kl.my.dal.net
vision.kl.my.dal.net
irc.dal.net
irc.eu.dal.net
toronto.on.ca.dal.net
coins.kl.my.dal.net
}
# make sure 2 close bracs... done

do a /list if u dont know da server names.

I am not gonna say that I am an expert on eggdrops but I have never seen anything like those lines (oh.. once.. in an ircd)..

Y:1:90:500:10:4000000
Y:2:90:0:500:100000
Y:3:90:0:500:100000

use

#default server port
set default-port 6667

#and the server names
set servers {
toronto.on.ca.dal.net
twisted.ma.us.dal.net
mesra-e.kl.my.dal.net
vision.kl.my.dal.net
irc.dal.net
irc.eu.dal.net
toronto.on.ca.dal.net
coins.kl.my.dal.net
}

.. instead..

and try eggdrop -mn yourconfigfile.conf instead of just eggdrop -m yourconfigfile.conf .. -n makes you see every little msg that the eggie puts out.. (like mirc does in the status window when you connect to a server).
