If u try to:

Then the bot will respond: Think I'm using about 91k.

Yes for PID.
Check in your config file is this is enable :
listen 3333 all
I think you've to have some rights as eggdrop user (owner and master if it's your bot)

My eggdrop use 5% of memory, no clue how to know how much it is in K, let me know how :)

Ok, no problem. I'm french, if you prefer to speak just between us.
Sure there's a way. Access your eggdrop from irc using dcc chat, or do a telnet to it using the listen-port (3333 i think by default).
Once identified, just type .die

Another way is, using ssh, type
kill -9
(find out the pid by using ps)
This will kill he process, like for any other linux process.

The config file is named eggdrop.conf and is installed in its default state in the eggdrop install folder.
Are you used to install eggdrop ?

This post won't explain how to configure the eggdrop, you're supposed to be familar with.
It only explains how to setup on the MyBook. (Tested on MBWE1)
Name "user" is used to replace a username of your choice.

First of all you need to install tcl

1) TCL install ( as root )

Log into root
Change to a folder where you will download files.
Download then install tcl :

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tcl8.4.16-src.tar.gz
tar -zxvf tcl8.4.16-src.tar.gz
cd tcl8.4.16/unix
./configure
make ( it's quite long )
make install

Tcl is now installed but linked linked libraries need to be added.

edit /etc/ld.so.conf
add this line : /usr/local/lib

type ldconfig -v
At the end of the list, you can see
/usr/local/lib:
libtcl8.4.so => libtcl8.4.so

2) Eggdrop install ( as user )

Log into user (it's better to run eggdrop with another user than root, for security reason)
Change to a folder where you will download files.

Download then install eggdrop :

wget ftp://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/eggdrop/source/1.6/eggdrop1.6.18.tar.gz
tar zxvf eggdrop1.6.18.tar.gz
cd eggdrop1.6.18
./configure
make config
make (quite long)
make install DEST=/home/user/eggdrop

edit the config file of the eggdrop as usual

3) Using crontab

Crontab is usefull to start eggdrop and check from times to times if still alive

Log into root
Copy /etc/crontabs/root to /etc/crontabs/user
edit /etc/crontabs/user, remove the existing cron (writing time)
add the following lines :

0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /home/user/eggdrop/botchk >/dev/null 2>&1

Be sure to edit /home/user/eggdrop/botchk to match your eggdrop setup.

Reboot may be needed
