Well, I need such script, becose i want to view on my webpage online status of my eggdrop bot. What i need to write such script? Please not to send me to RFC standarts etc. Only really help, better on PHP...

I don't think that's possible, because HTTP and IRC use two different protocols, so they wouldn't be able to communicate directly. Maybe a bot sitting like eggdrop or something would be able to determine that data.

Well, I have seen PHP IRC bots, so in theory it should be possible, I don't actually know how though.

are you running your eggdrop with livestats? If so, you could query your eggdrop for users on its channels.
else you could write a tcl script which waits for incomming connections of your web page to just reply the whois. I believe its unncessary traffic for an IRC network to login a session just to do a whois and quit .

The login is quite simple, you need just 2 lines:

Code: Select all

nick <nick>
user <user> . . :<real name>

then you will need ro reply to a PING request from the server with PONG and the argument of the previous PING. Some servers might even enforce you replying to some extra stuff, often CTCP.
ex. for PING:

Code: Select all

request: PING :irc.server.net
reply: PONG :irc.server.net

egghelp.org should have some scripts to make your eggdrop report its own status to some webserver. you would only need to grab those stats and parse it into php then.. i guess that would be the easiest way

Hi did you get this workin corectly in the end ? Id be pretty intrested in it

I guess you could do it with a little perl script or with a crontab entry that checks if your bot is online.

well you can make a eggdrop upload trivia stats on a webpage it generates it in html and also you can do the same with Mirc. you just need to bot to save the channel list into a dir and every time some 1 parts or quits it changes the file. then get it to put it into html with some tcl scripts

the best thing for that is google

i have a script for egg which emails me(sms) when a nickname comes into my channel

The problem is that IRC is not setup to be queried without connection so the script would have to connect to the server or get information from a bot setting on the server and you could just as easily connect to the server yourself and get that information, unless they are set +i in which case the channel will have to be joined to see them.

So what are you trying to do exactly?

Do you want to be able to see if your bot goes down?

If i am understanding the question correctly: you should be able to use "pisg" to udate a stats channel in .html , in which case it'll update how ever often you want it to.

If the page updates,you know your bot is online and if it doesnt update,either your bot is offline or the "pisg" isnt working.

I could be wrong but its an easy .tcl for your bot..
