I'm not exactly sure of your current state, but from what I can tell, your config-file is valid. However, the nickname you've selected does not conform to the IRC specs, thus the server you've selected won't let it online.
If it can't get online, you'll have a hard time "greeting" it (in order to create your user account, and with it, the user file).
Also, eggdrop only saves it's user file once an hour, so don't kill it straight after greeting it...
Don't bother with the botchk-script until you've got this part sorted. botchk is only used with cronjobs to automatically restart your eggdrop in the event that it crashes, get killed, etc.
./eggdrop -m rwpc.conf
Eggdrop v1.6.20 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2010 Eggheads
[03:25:20] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.20 (Fri Aug 26 2011)
[03:25:20] Listening at telnet port 3334 (all).
...
STARTING BOT IN USERFILE CREATION MODE.
Telnet to the bot and enter 'NEW' as your nickname.
OR go to IRC and type: /msg BOTNICK hello
This will make the bot recognize you as the master.
[03:25:20] === BOTNICK: 1 channels, 0 users.
Launched into the background (pid: 6081)
At this point, you've got one eggdrop running in user file create mode. As soon as this comes online, you'll have to greet it in order to create the user file..
Next:
./eggdrop rwpc.conf
Eggdrop v1.6.20 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2010 Eggheads
[03:26:14] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.20 (Fri Aug 26 2011)
[03:26:14] Listening at telnet port 3335 (all).
...
This tells me that your eggdrop was unable to listen on port 3334, and instead tried the next one; 3335. Most likely, this is because the previous process is still running and already listening on 3334.
I changed my Bot's name, and now I am in Channel...but here's problem
when i did
./eggdrop -m rwpc.conf
bot joined channel
when I did ./eggdrop rwpc.conf
it again said that USER FILE NOT FOUND =\
now what's probem :=\
Did you greet the bot, make sure it saved the userfile (either waiting atleast an hour, or using the .save command from dcc chat partyline) before trying to restart it?
Or did you simply issue the second command while your eggdrop was still within the channel?
