It means, if you have duplicate processes running of the same executable file and .conf file kill them and make sure only one process of ./eggdrop is running. It's like you have two seperate internet explorer windows open, so you can browse from two different windows.

The same effect will occur if crontab is set for the bot and it's screwing up. Has happened to me off and on, 3 to 4 bots connecting because crontab screwed. If you do actually have a crontab set for the bot, remove it.

I have the same problem with 3 proceses of eggdrop running for 1 bot.

I tryed the ./configure --disable-tcl-threads option, but when I do that, the bot doesnt connect to irc. It will connect fine with the normal ./configure and 3 processes but I cant have that many processes for one bot. I also cant telnet to the bot when doing disable-tcl-threads. Why is this?

I even removed the 3 source scripts/blah.tcl lines at the end of the conf and it still uses 3 processes for the bot.

[Alchera]

Your shell is spawning the clones; check exactly which processes are running:

[havokator]

It is all the same

./eggdrop eggdrop.conf
./eggdrop eggdrop.conf
./eggdrop eggdrop.conf

if I kill any one of the process, all 3 die, and it kills the bot, no matter which process i decide to kill.

All 3 processes are for 1 bot. I need to fix this, however using "./configure --disable-tcl-threads" doesnt work. Please help.

Have you got a crontab running by any chance? If so, delete it and your problem will be solved.

NO It has absolutely nothing to do with crontab. Its something wrong with the bot itself.

[demond]

link with a non-threaded Tcl lib; you may need to build one yourself by specifying --disable-threads as parameter to Tcl configure script

If you read above, you will see that i tried using --disable-threads, but when I do that, the bot doesnt connect to irc, and i cant connect to it to see whats wrong. Its like it just isnt there. It wont work unless i do configure normally which gives me 3 processes.

Logs show nothing?

Question.....

Do you get 1bot to join, but see 3 processes on the shell?
If so is the shell running debian?

I had a shell that ran on debian and that started 2 baby processes, nothing you could do about it as far as i could tell. So i got rid of the shell and only run bots on bsd instead
