Note the followup line.  Let's move this to alt.irc.ircii, but anyway.. 
exec_exit doesn't have the output he wants.  It only contains the exit
status of the command.  He still needs the on ^exec and in fact 
his original example should work.  I have reason to believe that the
version ircII2.2pre7.myc6+ that I put up on csd.bu.edu had a bug
related to this problem.  The wait %process_id should wait until
it's done.  Shayde's example worked fine for me.

I should mention that the use of 'wait' is in general evil, and the best way to 
avoid this is to make your scripts asynchronous.  Do what you need to do in 
ON's.  Make use of ON HOOK and the HOOK command if you have to.  A few of my 
scripts are in the pre7 script directory and you'll notice that I never ever 
ever use wait.  It can't be relied upon.. It used to be majorly broken, now 
it's just sorta broken.  It does work for exec however.


Oh and Shayde, take those '/'s out and shoot them.  The only time we should
ever see a / in ircII2.2 scripting is when you need to call a base function
like  alias msg do something else;//msg $*

This is a social problem and you can't solve social problems with technical
solutions (as has been shown).  You can reduce the social problem or put
it somewhere else.

If someone on a channel removes a ban and another chanop doesn't agree,
then they have sevral options.  These types of situations and problems
won't be solved with any amount of ease if the parties involved don't
agree.

For people with space constraints I recomend the following method instead

would be better.

This is dangerous.  Just make sure it's stressed that rm -rf not only

Right, all servers have the same channels (unless the net is split,
but this is an error condition and there are IRC operators around to
resolve it). It doesn't matter for you which server you use, except
for connection times and costs.

Some servers disallow connections from far away, as it is much less
efficient. You should use your nearest server *only*. 'K-lined' means
that the server forbids your site (perhaps a single machine, perhaps a
whole campus subnetwork) to connect to it.

I believe that Valkor claims to be a nice person who let 3-4 of his friends
use his account to irc.  And gee, they were the ones who made the mass-kick
runs that were so common last year.  Valkor has been behaved from what I've

No, it shows oligarchy ops doing it. While you consider all ops to be
vanity ops (as do I, now - and no that's not because I'm no longer
running a server, because I (a) ceased to assert ops weeks before the
server went down and (b) have been offered O lines several times since
and declined them), the oligarchy ops consider people who don't fit into
their exclusive clique to be vanity ops.

Vanity Op: n. Any op you don't like.
Vanity Server: n. Any server run by somebody you don't like.

	Well, I wake up and here I find a nice new insulting post from that
 great man, and american Dan Prust. Oh joy of joys.  
	Now, I will not say he is a confused idiot, who is displaying serious
 psychological problems, since that is obvious. What I will point out is that 
 he is a bad IRC operator, who should have his O line REMOVED.

	This is a log exract from NJITbot. This is a little bit of a program
  that just sits in ONE channel, #NJIT and serves some of the NJIT IRC
 community.  Now, I have differences with both Dan Prust and Chris Rahn, which
 has created problems for all three of us. I was content, as Chris Rahn put it,
 to have "fun on irc" and let bygones be bygones. BUT, I log on, check my bots
 log and here is what I find : 


*Allen* Well hello there.
*Allen* And I don't suppose your master is around, is he.
*Allen* Still we behind the ears as op, he is.
*Allen* And rather pathetic too.
*Allen* But you know that.
*Allen* Don't you.
*Allen* Also lacks literary abilities.
*Allen* I'm not surprised, given the school he's from.
*Allen* invite
*Allen* Heh, thought so.
*** You have been killed by operator Allen cm22.eng.umd.edu!fairhope.andrew.cmu.edu!penfold.ece.uiuc.edu!epx.cis.umn.edu[128.101.83.4]!cerebus.cc.edu[140.104.1.200]!cerebus.cc.edu!Allen (Useless bot.)

	Now, the insults do not matter, and I will not even address them. What
 DOES matter is that this was NOT a useless bot. This was an obviously 
 personally motivated kill.  I just thought the alt.irc people should know how 
 "perfect" good old Dan is. And lets remember, good old Chris Rahn gave this
 bloody idiot his O line. Not good judgement, eh ?

	All posts regarding the kill can be on alt.irc. Everything else can

Sounds to me like the ftp in binary problem.
Someone ftpped irc173.com in binaary and then tryied to 'run' it.

1. irc173.com must be ftpped in ascii
2. it must be called with   @irc173.com     This will then try to compile 
it for you.

After it has created irc.exe
you should set up a symbol like this.. Mine looks like this:

irc :== $ACSADVIS_DEVICE:[frechette_i]irc.exe

Most of which you can see with the command   show def
Just add the $ before the device name.. and the irc.exe after the 
directory name.
