hi all i have done the set up everything is ok but i am getting this message in logs as bot is not getting into channels

this is the log
TERMINATE SIGNAL -- SIGNING OFF


what is this

[nml375]

Roughly put, something or someone decided to kill your eggdrop by sending it a Terminate-signal (kill -SIGTERM pidofbot).

You could edit the die-on-sigterm setting in your config-file to ask your bot not to quit upon receiving a terminate-signal, but do a restart instead. Unfortunately, the most common response to processes not quitting on SIGTERM - is to send the SIGKILL signal instead, which cannot be caught, and immediately kills the process.

This might be a good time to check if your shell host actually permits users running eggdrops (or irc robots/background processes) in the first place.

thanx nml i am running my processes on a centos 5.0 with direct admin vps
and i am stumped at what is happening everything else is working fine

latest unrealircd 3.2.9

anope 1..8.7

eggdrop 1.6.20

any ideas would help

Unfortunately, the answer remains the same. Someone or something is actively killing your eggdrop. Being a virtual private server, the system admins could easily have some service to terminate "unwanted" processes from the host. I suppose this could also be a matter of resource limitations.

You could try investigate system-logs and kernel messages (dmesg) for further clues.

There is no discussion required here. The issue is your bot is being killed. What is killing it is pretty much moot. You need to READ your services "terms of service". Otherwise known as their TOS. A google search can find the below quote pretty easily. This sums up how 99.99% of companies operate.
