slaktarn:
That error message is generated because you try to start your eggdrop using the botchk-script as a config-file. Not the way to do it...

Re-read tsukeh's post. First step is to see if your config-file is executable (and the #! magic number is set up properly).
If this works, run the botchk-script manually, as the bash-script it is, and track any and all errors thrown.

In neither of the above tests should you prefix the comand/file with the eggdrop binary.

As a final resort, drop the pipe-redirects from the cron-job, and you should recieve an email whenever the botchk-script is run and something happened. This should atleast provide some hints to what's setup incorrectly...

Im relly sorry but don´t get a [censored] of any of what you ppl taking about i searched around a bit more and find out that you never shuld use a Windows editor to edit your files. Try to reedit the botchk file in vi editor and it seems to work fine. Now i just have a last question for you ppl. When it starts up it starts whit Dev.conf insted of Dev it it the way it shuld be it dosent matter relly just a thing i note.

Code:

botscript="Dev.conf" changed tobotscript="./Dev Dev.conf"

That sloved the thing i wrote befor that my bot start whit Dev.conf know it starts whit the binary insted of the conf file.

Hoever i will thx everyone in this section that try to help me slove this!
Thx alot and the prob sloved i wuld prob figure all this out my self it i not was so stupid to edit all conf file in Windows. It was the real problem. Else its relly easy to set up botchk file. To anyone else that have problem whit it! Never edit in Windows use vi editor in linux

Crontab problem

After killing your eggdrop (if it's running) try to start it like:
Code:
./Dev.conf
If eggdrop starts kill it and then try to run botchk manually:
Code:
./Dev.botchk
If eggdrop starts again, those configs should be ok.

Strange it says its in wrong dir but it isent. And the first option work

Code:

mynick@hades ~/eggdrop $ ./Dev Dev.botchkEggdrop v1.6.20+checkconflags (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2008 Eggheads[09:21] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.20+checkconflags (Wed Feb 24 2010)[09:21] Tcl error in file 'Dev.botchk':[09:21] invalid command name "botdir="/home/mynick/eggdrop""    while executing"botdir="/home/mynick/eggdrop""    (file "Dev.botchk" line 22)[09:21] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

Code:

# change this to the name of your bot's config file (capitalization COUNTS):botscript="./Dev Dev.conf"

I bet your config is "Dev.conf" and not "./Dev Dev.conf" ?

also make sure first line of your config points to "eggdrop" binary:

Code:

#! /home/mynick/eggdrop/eggdrop

Dev.botchk and Dev.conf needs to have correct permissions:

chmod u+x Dev.botchk
chmod u+x Dev.conf
