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
