i have all my bots on my shells running from the same dir on my shells

so 4-5++ bots are using the same netbots/ dir

how will netbots script and netupdate handle this ?

have have been doing it like this for a while with success , but i'm still wondering if you (slennox) is thinking about this when u are coding the netbots and netupdate system

only problem i have come across is when bots are downloading the same files, and ocanional crashes after netupdate

any tips or trix to avoid this ?

If running netbots and eggdrop from the same directory, there should be no need to use the netupdate feature.

There is however one small reason to do so. When you have 10 bots (example number, could be more or less), 7 on one shell, running from the same dir (as in your setup), and 3 more, each on seperate shell providers (AKA, youare with 4 shell providers).

If all the bots you run are on the ssame provider, you should upload the file to the shell, and just issue a ".nethash" command, so that it takes effect on all bots.

If you use the other method above, you can setup groups on bot in the netset.tcl file. this way, you make one groups that only has 4 bots in it (using the example above). 1 from the shell with 7 bots, and each of the others. Thus, when you do the netupdate using this one group, everything should goto plan.
