Telnet says cannot restart using -n

wow, that's actually an error I haven't seen before
hopefully nml375, or one of the other devs, can shed some light on what's going on.

I wouldn't think it's a threaded TCL issue since all of my servers use threaded TCL and I haven't had any problems like this with eggdrops on any of them.

This would sound like a pthread/fork issue. I would guess that the tcl-library you're using was compiled with threads enabled, which now causes problems when your eggdrop tries to fork() into background (using -n or -nt prevents forking, and hence your eggdrop will suddenly appear to work without any problems. Unfortunately, because of tcl, you cannot use .restart when not launched into background).

./eggdrop -ntm eggdrop.conf

this should allow you to see why it's not connecting properly

ok lets see where to start ... all the problems lol i spent days configuring the firewall to let me telnet .. finally i get things going but when i ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf it loads fine but it will not go to the server unless i do ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf -n so i have the user file an everything made an i can telnet... but now i cant .restart it says you cannot .restart while using -n and then something about TCL? now if i remove the -n an start the bot without the -n it will still not go to the server and its not giving me any reason why, any suggestions??
