botchk issue

Post by intel »

I am running eggdrop 1.8 and when I do a ./autobotchk my.conf I get
Eggdrop v1.8.1+alpha (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 1999-2017 Eggheads
Configure flags: none
Compiled with: IPv6, TLS, handlen=32
[16:21:05] LANG: No lang files found for section core.
while executing
"exec "$dir/$binary" -v"
invoked from within
"if {![regexp {handlen=([0-9]+)} "[exec "$dir/$binary" -v]" -> handlen]} {
puts " Could not find handlen used, defaulting to 32."
# len 32 means u..."
(file "./autobotchk" line 250)
What am I missing?

Same thing for me. Running Debian 8.7, with 3.16.0-4-amd64 kernel.
Eggdrop compiled perfectly, with no stdout errors. It only errored when I created cron using ./autobotchk

Code: Select all

devnull@matrix.home: cd ~/eggdrop/scripts; chmod 700 autobotchk; ./autobotchk chmod.conf -dir /home/devnull/eggdrop -noemail

autobotchk 1.11, (C) 1999-2003 Jeff Fisher (guppy@eggheads.org)

That still doesn't work. It's easier to just crontab -e and enter manually.

I'm not sure that I understand but:

Would it solve it to simply copy autobotchk up one dir, so that a copy is in the same dir with the eggdrop executable and the working .conf file? Then no -dir switch is needed.

I've done it this way many times.

Hi,

Worked for me! You only have to know the correct path to your config file. :)

I had this issue too, at first. Here is how I managed it perfectly.

1. navigate to the directory where the eggdrop executable is installed.
2. make sure that the config file for your bot is in this directory as well
3. type:

Code: Select all

scripts/autobotchk <config_filename> -noemail -5
no need to specify the path for the config file this way.
If all else fails, read the directions.
