Remote MOTD

Psadi · Post by **Psadi** » Sat Mar 20, 2004 7:55 pm

I would like to have one MOTD that is the same for my two ircd servers. Like I can have with remote include on network file.

Is it possible to remote include the motd files? Or must they be on the local machin where the server is running from?

You can not load remote MOTDs, however this is on the todo list.

You have to have one MOTD file for each server. Bit of a pain, but as codemastr said, remote includes are on the way...

MOTD/RULES/etc... cannot be included with remote includes. The only way is to have the files on each server. Sorry... However in a later version this feature should be availble.

I wrote a perl script to handle this for me

It downloads the "Network" MOTD from a given http server, merges it with a local MOTD, saves it to Unreal3.2/ircd.motd, connects opers and rehashes the MOTD/Rules

I guess I could email it if interested, at least until remote includes can do remote motd's

Thanks.... but no thanks, this can be achieved with a simple crontab...
