making eggdrop run shell command??

Is there any way of making eggdrop run some commands on the unix box it's running on? I cannot use cron because I don't have permissions to it.
All it should do is run ./pisg about every one hour... So it would be nice to schedule it some how. If I could even run command directly from eggdrop would make things easier.

Try 'exec' for executing shell commands (it's a TCL command, so don't try ".exec" on the partyline, use ".tcl exec" or write a script). Search for PISG in the TCL archive.

Thanx for that got to try

How about making it run several times every day without using cron?

If I may.. my script (pisg-0.5.tcl) will do that for you.
It'll run 4 times a day, once every 6 hours.

It also has FTP capabilities to upload your stat pages.
