Script To Open a File on Remote Bot

And eggdrop doesnt support TCL threading for reasons that has been discussed in other threads.

Eggdrop just doesn`t support it by standad (and i know a bit about the reasons). I am using mkThreads1.2. Eggdrop (and Windrop aswell too) are working fine with threads.

You just need tcl 8.4.12 (+) (it must be compiled with --enable-threads) and eggdrop 1.6.18 (+) (i compiled it with --enable-threads aswell to but don`t know if this was really necessary).

Correct me if i am wrong!

well, the restriction are about fine, but bgexec simply spawns an asyncron socket/child via 'open |'. And eggdrop doesnt support TCL threading for reasons that has been discussed in other threads.

I have Posted the Script in Eggdrop.conf now what do i need to type in irc to Start the program. i have tried to use .tcl exec (and the file name)

1st: you added the code directly into the conf? you usually paste code into a file and load that file via the config (add the end are some examples).
2nd: do you want to launch them via IRC or DCC/telnet now? basicly .tcl exec should work (just refer to the 2 solutions that are mentioned in the linked post).

Well, De Kus said it...

if you get an error like "couldn't duplicate input handle: bad file number ", refer forum.egghelp.org/viewtopic.php?t=11665.

You cannot spawn an independant thread from TCL, only a child.

I am not sure if i got you right.
1. Tcl (and eggdrop aswell too) supports tcl threads.
2. You could run any programm into the backround http://wiki.tcl.tk/12704
Or just search the tcl`ers wiki for bgExec. There is a standalone exec and a run exe package aswell too.

The restrictions tcl has is.
- You can not read from some kind of programms (such as unix vi, top).
- You can not open a programm pipeline for opening and reading at the same time.
- You can not interact with windows based applications (such as taskmanager, editor). You can only start them.

Correct me if i am wrong!

you mean something like that?

Code:

set winamp "/cygdrive/c/program files/winamp/winamp.exe"bind pub n !winamp start:winampproc start:winamp {nick uhost hand chan text} {   exec $::winamp   return 1}

if you get an error like "couldn't duplicate input handle: bad file number ", refer forum.egghelp.org/viewtopic.php?t=11665.
Note: use this script only on files that switch into "background" like winamp does (you return to prompt after running it in command line). You cannot spawn an independant thread from TCL, only a child.
