 |
|
OK here we go with the explanation.
A friend has an eggdrop with a stats bot. The stats bot is one of the main toys in our chan.
I have a website with a status page, on that page is a php script with a variable online / offline status.
i have a cron job set up that checks into the script and sets the variable to offline every 29th and 59th minute of every hour.
What i want the bot to do is check into the script every 31st and 1st minute of the hour to set teh variable back to "online".
This gives me a fairly accurate online / offline status of the bot.
I have no knowledge of tcl or eggdrop, but know "basic" bash commands, and i do mean basic ( i can navigate edit and create files) lol.
Any help / advice MUCH appreciated.

not sure if this will help but it's a convo i had in an eggdrop help chan.... didnt really help me much....
| Quote: | [20:00] <John_Maclain> i just said above, the script uses two web address, one to swap the status to online, one to set to offline
[20:00] <paultwang> ok ..
[20:01] <John_Maclain> if i load up these http address in my browser, i get teh script to work
[20:01] <paultwang> so you just type the 'online' address in browser and go?
[20:01] <John_Maclain> now i need the bot to trigger the online
[20:01] <paultwang> yes or no?
[20:01] <John_Maclain> yes
[20:01] <paultwang> nothing else to type? no forms to submit?
[20:01] <John_Maclain> no
[20:01] <paultwang> that wasn't too hard..
[20:02] <John_Maclain> noep 
[20:02] <paultwang> you don't need the "getting" part, nor string manipulation
[20:02] <paultwang> two less things to know
[20:02] <John_Maclain> ok
[20:02] <paultwang> when bot is connected, transmit:
[20:02] <paultwang> GET path/to/file HTTP/1.1
[20:03] <paultwang> HOST: domainname
[20:03] <paultwang>
[20:03] <paultwang> that's all for the requesting
[20:04] <John_Maclain> sorry for being a complete n000b, but how do i implement that into eggdrop?
[20:05] <paultwang> that's one part
[20:05] <John_Maclain> ok
[20:05] <paultwang> you need a trigger (bind time)
[20:05] <paultwang> you need a triggee (a procedure)
[20:05] <John_Maclain> ok
[20:06] <paultwang> the procedure needs to open a socket to connect to the web server
[20:06] <paultwang> and if done asynchronously, needs another procedure to wait for response
[20:07] <John_Maclain> ok... would there be a response?
[20:07] <paultwang> if done synchronously, eggdrop will freeze up during the proc call
[20:07] <paultwang> when connection attempt is approved, procedure needs to send the stuff i just said
[20:07] <paultwang> then drop the connection
[20:07] <paultwang> ?
[20:07] <paultwang> better not
[20:08] <paultwang> it dropped the connection after sending
[20:08] <paultwang> any response will be lost in the sea of electrons
[20:08] <John_Maclain> lol ok
[20:08] <John_Maclain> you say there needs to be a trigger...
[20:10] <paultwang> yes
[20:11] <John_Maclain> asin everytime i want the script to run, i would have to trigger it?
[20:11] <paultwang> no
[20:12] <paultwang> a time trigger
[20:12] <paultwang> triggers every specified time |
