Hello dear, thanks for all replies, i've managed to run this command

su user -c /home/user/eggdrop/./eggdrop-1.6.20

and it working perfectly but monit requires a full path of the command and it means it wants it like this

/bin/su user -c /home/user/eggdrop/./eggdrop-1.6.20

but i'm getting this error after executing it.

[18:56:16] LANG: No lang files found for section core.

Eggdrop v1.6.20 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2010 Eggheads
[18:56:16] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.20 (Thu Apr 7 2011)
[18:56:16] * MSG534

any idea how can i bypass this ?

Here's a bash script that I did for you.

Code:

#!/bin/bash# set the useruser="username"# and the path to eggdrop dirpath="/home/$user/eggdrop"function getPid {  pid=0  file=`/bin/ls $path | grep pid`  if [ -n "$file" ]; then  pid=`cat $path/$file`  fi}function getStatus {  status=0  if pidof eggdrop | grep [0-9] > /dev/null; then  status=1  fi}function status {  getStatus  case "$status" in  0)  echo -e "offline"  ;;  1)  echo -e "online"  ;;  esac}function start {  getStatus  if [ "$status" -eq "0" ]; then  su $user  cd $path  rm -fr *.pid  ./eggdrop  fi}function stop {  getStatus  if [ "$status" -eq "1" ]; then  getPid  kill -9 $pid  rm -fr $path/*.pid  fi}case "$1" in   start)      start   ;;   stop)      stop   ;;   restart)      restart   ;;   status)      status   ;;   *)      echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status}"esac

Haven't tested if it really starts/stops the bot, but it should work just fine.

You can switch from root to any user without knowing his/her password via 'su username' and do whatever you wish from there.

Edit: From what I've just read, something like this should do what you want:

Code:

 check process eggdrop with pidfile /home/user/eggdrop       start = "/root/eggdrop start"       stop = "/root/eggdrop stop"

And in '/root/eggdrop' you create a simple start/stop shell-script like here.

You aren't allowed to run eggdrop as root due to security issues.

#1 question: In the configuration file there's:

# Specify here the filename Eggdrop will save its pid to. If no pidfile is
# specified, pid.(botnet-nick) will be used.
#set pidfile "pid.LamestBot"

#2 question:
If your eggdrop has an user file then start it normally with './eggdrop' if not start it 1 time with './eggdrop -m' if the configuration file is eggdrop.conf and with './eggdrop -m name-of-the-file.conf' if it's different (replace 'name-of-the-file.conf' with the actual name).

#3 question:

Code:

kill -9 `cat pid.LamestBot`

(replace pid.LamestBot with the actual file name) should do what you want

Monitoring Eggdrop with Monit

2011-04-07T08:03:11-04:00

Hello everyone i would like to know how to monitor eggdrop with monit cause it's deffcult for me to do so, the eggdrop won't run as root and monit run as root by default, i have tried many shell commands to run eggdrop from root as another users but eggdrop won't boot and give error or languages missing.

monit requires some stuff to be able to monitor a script/service:
1. PID file (can be found)
2. Start command
3. Stop command

i was able to get all those stuff but the problem that it won't run as root or as another user from root.

anyone can help me with this?
