This is a known issue for this antique eggdrop. If threaded tcl-libraries are not properly detected, your eggdrop will not be able to fork() into background, meaning it will work perfectly fine when using any of "interactive" options (-n, -nt, etc), but not when you try to launch it into background.<br><br>More details here: <a href="http://eggwiki.org/Bugs/Threaded_Tcl" class="postlink">http://eggwiki.org/Bugs/Threaded_Tcl</a><p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="https://forum.eggheads.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=8052">nml375</a> — Thu Jul 18, 2013 1:07 pm</p><hr />

Starting the bot with -n option will let the bot run but if you close the exit the shell account the bot will die. So start the eggdrop without -n option. That is only for debug (to see whats wrong with the eggdrop why hes not connecting)<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="https://forum.eggheads.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=6396">Madalin</a> — Thu Jul 18, 2013 11:22 am</p><hr />
