Got another question concerning a socket connection w/tcl

Darok · Post by **Darok** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 10:27 pm

I'm getting this error: (using eggdrop1.6.13 and unreal3.1.14)
[21:20] WARNING: open_telnet_raw() is about to block in gethostbyname()!
[21:20] <<Darok>> !*! .startservice
[21:20] net: connect! sock 7
[21:21] net: eof!(read) socket 7
(from ./eggdrop -n via ssh)

This is a copy of the code I used. (remember I'm new)
#new connection
bind pub -|* .startservice pubm:serv
proc pubm:serv {nick host handle chan text} {
set idx [connect my.server.org 7029]
}
proc test:connect idx {
puthelp "PRIVMSG #Construct :Connnection successful"
}

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated

This caused by the fact you provide no fucntion with which to handle the socket just opened.

You have used the "connect" command to open a connect, then you simply existed the function, leaving it with nothing to do but sit thetre and die.

I am guessing the rest of the code should say it was a sucess. This will never be called, as it's not been told to.

See the meaning of the "contro;" command in tcl-commands.doc

procname <idx> <input-text>

So if I'm reading this right, <input-text> needs to be a something to trigger the proc. and carry out specific operations (ie putserv ect...) Could someone layout the syntax for such a script, using the control feature?

Hi Darok, at first "connect", "listen" and "control" and the return values seem a bit confusing, bit if you play around a bit, it will become clear.

Below you'll find an example.

Thx for the feedback. I'll take a look at your link and see if I can figure it out. Thanks

Thx for the help egghead. I successfully got my eggdrop to open a services connection to my IRCD. The only thing I have to learn now is string manipulation, and a little more about variables. So I can send ping replies and responses based on certian text events like user connections to the ircd, nick changes, ect... Thx again to everyone for their help.

My script is getting there, slowly but surely. So I have the connection open, how would I send ping replies? I've tried a few different variations, none seem to be working properly. How would I send a PING reply to a server?

Server pings, are replied using pongs.

Simply use "PONG <args>". <args> are obtained from the incominf PING command.

Not all servers send arguments, and only send the PING
