If the eggdrop is dieing, with no apparent reason what so ever, it is most likely due to the fact it is being killed.

You should make a clear note, of the exact times it does, and see if there is a pattern. Even if there isn't, after 2 or 3 times, you should then e-mail the shell admin, and explain the following.

Say that you eggdrop is dieing with no apparent reason. Give times and dates, that this occuring. Ask the admin if he uses software, to make sure a user is within his proces limit, and/or if he uses one to deny the running of certain software. Ask if he/she could look into the problem, see if they can see why this is happening.

Note, it may not be a process limiter, it could allways be a memory/CPU time limiter. Maybe the eggdrop is starting to hog up system resources. This is one major reason of admins killing a user process.

It could be a connection limiter. Some shell providers do not like users having too many listening ports open (EG, keep you listen commands down to 1 "listen all"), nor do they like too many outgoing connections. This is somthing else to ask.

There maybe a bandwidth limiter, detecting if you are going to go over a certain limit each day, based on averages.

I started it again and I didn't get an error on the partyline. This meens that is a eggdrop process killer or something like this on the shell

Well, until now I din;t had no problem with the eggy or with the shell. As for an periodicaly killing user processes now way. I shall talk with the admin and I'll ask him about this. I tryed to be on partyline with it but boing disconect. I'll start her again and paste what happens.

Are you sure it's not running?

Try typeing "ps x", that should give you an answer.

The only other explanation is that a script on the system is periodicaly killing user processes. You should contact the admin to find out why.

Note, try staying on the partyline, and wait till the bot dies. You may get a more meaningfull message then as well.

Is there a file called DEBUG in the eggdrop's directory.

If yes, then the information from this should give you a clue where the problem is.

If not, report it as a bug as stated in docs/BUG-REPORT

I start my eggy, she comes online, sits a bit and then boing! quits with "Read error: EOF from client". The pid file is there where should be but the proces is not. Strange.. Why is this happening?
