Hi

I want to write the stats data of all 6 servers into a file.

e.g:

server1.irc.net:1268
server2.irc.net:724
server3.irc.net:954
...

But my script writes only the last server number six into the file. What can I do?

Here is my script:

[SpiKe^^]

try changing w+ to a...

[tessa1]

Spike, yes! I know that. But "a" doesn't overwrite the file like "w"
It adds a new line to this file. I need this file to read it out with php and publish it on our homepage.

We know what happens if you use +w. You get only the last one saved to the file. That's because +w is re-writing the file.

Spike's solution does cure that. However it creates a never ending file.

With your latest clarification, it sounds like you want both - a new file every time, that contains all six lines.

Would the solution be:
Do what Spike said, AND add a new line to your script.... one that deletes the old file, first?

Ok, this is my script now.
There are no errors in the partyline.
But the script writes only the last server.
I rehashed an restarted the Bot.
Without deleting the file, the script writes all lines.

Every time proc stats:raw:242 is triggered by the raw bind, the file is being deleted.
Thus, only the last one is being saved.
See what I mean?

My mistake. Sorry.

Try moving this line:
file delete uptimefile
from where it is currently, to before the first putserv line in
proc stats:cmd:uptime

That way, the file will only be deleted once - when you issue the
!uptime
command. Let's hope this solves it.

Yes! Thats it!

Many thanks
