SATEXAS : Eggdrop Support - How To Launch Internal Bot

There are many reasons you would need to launch your bot manually, outlined below:

This is the very first time. Bot has never been online.
Server rebooted, bot went offline.
My bot was online, but had an error, and crashed.

Any of the above items can require the need for you to manually start your bot. There is a program called crontab that you can setup that will auto-start your bot every time it dies.Instructions and information can be found HERE.

If you are starting your bot for the very first time (ever), then you will need to use the First Time Launch instructions below. If this is not the case, then please use the Standard Launch instructions below.

Note : Substitute your configuration file name for egg.config, if you are not using our default configuration file name.
