eggie wont connect

Post by whittinghamj »

Hi guys.

Having a small issue.

I have two user accounts. One will load eggie just fine.

I created the second account last night and compiled eggie but when I start the bot ./eggdrop -m bot.conf it loads but does not connect.

When I do ./eggdrop -nm bot.conf if loads and connects just fine.

I used apt-get install tcl8.4 to install when I got the first account working.

Can anyone suggestion something please?

I have tried apt-get remove and reinstall tcl8.4 but nothing works.

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue on my bot, the way i get around it is by using screen:

Code: Select all

screen ./eggdrop -n(m?) <config-here>
Once its loaded and connected to irc, i press

Code: Select all

CTRL + A + D
to close the screen session. Eggdrop will then carry on running within the screen terminal until you kill it using the die or the kill (-9?) pid.
