I run an eggdrop on an ubuntu shell, and it says "launching into background (pid: xxx)" after it finishes its startup process. But the jobs command lists nothing. Is this some other kind of background? How can I get it into my console?

EDIT: I guess I don't really need this, I can always use dcc chat. But it would be nice to know anyway.

Once it's started it goes into background and if you want/need a "console" with it then either DCC Chat with it on IRC or telnet to it after you set the port.

Try:
./eggdrop -h
to get brief help and list of command line options.

Code:

./eggdrop -h

Eggdrop v1.6.20 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2010 Eggheads

Usage: eggdrop [options] [config-file]

Options:
  -h   help
  -n   Don't background; send all log entries to console.
  -nc  Don't background; display channel stats every 10 seconds.
  -nt  Don't background; use terminal to simulate DCC chat.
  -m   Create userfile.
  -h   Show this help.
  -v   Show version info, then quit.

Right.
If I recall, the "console" you get with -n allows you do do very little. It can be handy though, if you need to observe errors.

You're on the right track.... use DCC chat.

That lists process IDs, not job IDs. Apparently they're different, according to what I read.
