I want to send message to IRC channel from shell script, I have installed eggdrop bot on my Laptop, I want to sent message to a channel from my laptop.
There's no simple way of doing this using a shellscript...
You could however use the telnet client to connect to your eggdrop, and from there use the .say partyline command.
oh ok, Thanks for reply, can you please explain me how can i telnet my eggdrop on specific port. where i need to change, or any good URL for the same. and how can i use .say party line.
# You need to un-comment this line and change the port number in order to open
# the listen port. You should not keep this set to 3333.
listen YOURPORT all
Then, you'll need a telnet client like putty (Putty docs page here). You can also access the command console via DCC.
Take a look at http://www.egghelp.org/using.htm
Once you're connected to the bot:
Use .help for basic help.
Use .help <command> for help on a specific command.
Use .help all to get a full command list.
Use .help *somestring* to list any help texts containing "somestring".
I'm running Eggdrop v. 1.6.19. I can log in via putty without any issues, but whenever I try the .say command to get it to send a msg to an IRC channel that the bot sits in, I get the "What? You need .help!"
I tried .say partyline <txt> (though I wasn't sure how that was going to direct it to a particular channel)
and .say <channel> <txt>, both instances got me the error.
Any additional help/instruction on this would be greatly appreciated!
