Definitve guide to start eggdrop from ioFTPD.

[ddeca]

Okey i just upgraded to 5.8.4r and after that my bat file to start the stupid "windrop" didnt work no more....

I am really pissed right now..
Does anyone know what's been changed??
Worked perfekt with 5.2.15r

Someone who got it runnig maybe could add how they did it in the KB on the site (also stating there OS and ioFTPD version).
Iam running w2k advanced (eng) as OS

pasting my (used to work) bat file..

@echo off
c:\windrop\pslist eggdrop > nul
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO con
ECHO BOT STILL RUNNING (DiD NOTHiNG)
GOTO END
:CON
cd c:\Windrop
start hidewndw /r /n 'c:\windrop\eggdrop.exe -nt eggdrop.conf'
ECHO BOT DOWN (RESTARTiNG iT)
cd c:\ioftpd\scripts
:END
EXIT

Okey... I reply to myself...

Found out what the problem was...

It was an envoiremnt entry that was missing..
I just added the ones i had in the old ioftp.env
and it works now...

Will check later wichone it was.. but i got to go now...

Anyone know why my eggdrop stops running after 1 second if i launch it using the bat file wtih a site command?

env file:
REALPATH=%[environment(PATH)]
PATH=%[$path]
SYSTEMROOT=%[environment(SYSTEMROOT)]
WINDIR=%[environment(WINDIR)]

[-=DoBBeR=-]

try removing WINDIR=%[environment(WINDIR)] and replacing SYSTEMROOT=%[environment(SYSTEMROOT)] with SYSTEMROOT=C:\WINDOWS
it worked great here when I did this.

Nada. No way to make it boot with a site command, nor scheduler or service I can just boot it manually, or in auto startup list of windows.
When i try site command or any other type of start, all i get is that eggdrop seems to load 1 or 2 second and then crashes, as i can see in task manager...
