I want to send message to IRC channel from shell script.

Hi folks,

I'm running Eggdrop v. 1.6.19. I can log in via putty without any issues, but whenever I try the .say command to get it to send a msg to an IRC channel that the bot sits in, I get the "What? You need .help!"

I tried .say partyline (though I wasn't sure how that was going to direct it to a particular channel)
and .say , both instances got me the error.

Any additional help/instruction on this would be greatly appreciated!

If you really need to do an automated task from the commandline, you can do what I did and use Python's telnet library to do the telnetting for you:

Code:

import telnetlibHOST="localhost"PORT="3333"BOTUSER="username"BOTPASS="password"CHANNEL="#channel"def botcmd(b, command):        return b.write("." + command + "\n")bot=telnetlib.Telnet(HOST,PORT,60)bot.read_until("ckname.")bot.write(BOTUSER + "\n")bot.read_until("word.")bot.write(BOTPASS + "\n")bot.read_until("joined the party line.",2)botcmd (bot, "say " + CHANNEL + " Python interaction test.")print "Check " + CHANNEL + " for test output."botcmd (bot, "quit")bot.close()

You can even make it interactive if you want, but at that point, you may as well telnet in yourself.

In your bot.conf:

Code:

# You need to un-comment this line and change the port number in order to open# the listen port. You should not keep this set to 3333.listen YOURPORT all

Then, you'll need a telnet client like putty (Putty docs page here). You can also access the command console via DCC.
Take a look at http://www.egghelp.org/using.htm

Once you're connected to the bot:

Use .help for basic help.
Use .help for help on a specific command.
Use .help all to get a full command list.
Use .help *somestring* to list any help texts containing "somestring".

There's no simple way of doing this using a shellscript...
You could however use the telnet client to connect to your eggdrop, and from there use the .say partyline command.
