Eggdrop and shell commands

[syM]

Hi.

I need to run a shell application by using my eggdrop.
e.g.: i'm wanting to launch my Channel Service located in /home/sym/CS/
and the PID file to execute is: O
Then i just want to type in my partyline: .chanserv and the eggdrop execute the pid file: /home/sym/CS/O

Someone know how i can do that ??

pid files?


Pid files store information regarding running processes.
It's not allways possible to locate a program useing system commands, so the program has the option to store it in a file. This way, another program can locate it simpler.

When you say pid file, do you mean a lauch script, which is used to load and configure a program?
