 |
|
Hi *.*.
Is it possible, e.g. through a shell script, to let the bot say something?
I want to use pisg for generating channel stats, but I can't use a eggdrop script because the bot has no access to the web directory (chroot environment). So my idea was to use a cron job for generating the stats - but I want the bot to say something like "new channel stats at http://...".
greets and thx,
hotrs |

rosc2112 has written a shell script for pisg that I found very usefull. Seach for "sendftp".
As for the other, a simple announce script should do it; heaps in the archive.

Not the simplest solution but you could probably use netcat or expect to connect to the telnet console on the bot and issue commands from there..
Me, I would just use a tcl script with a time bind, and have my shell/cron script create a flag file when it was done, and then have my tcl script with the time bind look for that flag file and make an announcement when an update was available.. |

I don't think that works for me: First, perl - and therefore pisg - isn't available in the chroot environment eggdrop is running in. So I can't use a eggdrop script to generate the stats. Second, there is no ftp server running - and I don't plan to install one.
The announce script had to be synchronize with pisg - that's the problem.

Good point. I don't know netcat or expect, but I will have a look.

That was my first idea, too. The shell script which start pigs just create a little text file. A tcl script for the bot just checks periodically for that file, use the text in the file for an announcement and delete the file.
