Phoenix Network Forums

Hello to all good people here. Let`s introduce myself. Well I am a man without a secrets. I am a member of abshost hosting firm, and there (on the forum) I had a status of moderator. This tell you that I am a reliable person, but i will build my respect here also

Something about me :

My name is Luka Prijic, I am 18 years old. Live in Serbia and Montenegro, and love to talk with my friends over the IRC
This is a reason why i want the shell account. I want to set up one eggdrop bot on my city channel. With reason you can ask, hey you are a moderator on abshost, you have respect there, why you don`t ask their system admin for shell account. I asked my dear friends, but he doesn`t support the shell account to use for eggdrop. I don`t know why but that is their policy, and i respect it. So i use google and found phoenix hosting. I am glad to see that someone provides free shell hosting, and my intention is to use my shell account just for eggdrop bot. I read the FAQ and the TOS.

If you need more info about me, please ask me and you will get it Thanks

Sincerely Luka Prijic (Eggie)

Heh, welcome.

If I knew what abshost hosting company was, I'd probably think: wow, look how reliable this guy is ;]

Thanks pal. I hope that I can call you a pal, `cos you are a nice guy. And you are a mod here too like me on abs I am glad to joing such lovely comunnity. Thanks for accepting me

Welcome to the forums. I guess, zogo rather asked for some kind of URI. =)

You sound like a nice guy, but ...

Phoenix isn't here just to host bots. The idea of a shell account is that you do something with it besides leave some process running all the time.

You googled and you found the best hosting :D

I know, I will be regular to this forum. I will do something with the shell, but I am afraid to do something, because I don`t know how shell works (i am not experienced linux user), and I am afraid that I don`t shut down server, If this is possible. Thanks for understanding me

Doesn't matter. =D

Okay, as you said. I don`t want to be look stupid, but this I doesn`t understand. When I doesn`t understand something I say I doesn`t understand Respect to all of you guys

Usually I don't like to explain jokes because it makes them a lot less funny, but seeing as this is a computer joke, that's really not an issue =P.

Pretty much what he means is that unless you're the System Deity (aka: "root"), you can't really screw anything up (except your own account =P).. Unlike WindBlows, you can't even turn off the computer if you're not on the admin account.

al_tyranny thank you for explanation. The reason why I didn`t understand him, is because I don`t know anything about shell, and to be honest, i want to set up a eggdrop bot for my IRC channel. If this is against TOS please tell me

al_tyranny: Actually that's not totally correct. An Oops in Linux terms is a critical kernel failure, by which the system can't continue operating and has to halt. The difference between an Oops and a kernel panic is that the latter mostly indicates hardware failure or configuration error, while the former indicates a kernel bug (detected by a theoretically impossible system state).

The joke is actually an analogue of what is called a DAU working as root. DAU is German and means "dümmster anzunehmender User" ("dumbest user imaginable"). =)

Now things are clear. Now i fully understand what mm want to say But you want to tell me, that I can`t screw up anything with your server, only my account?
