You have to download a service package like Auspice or Epona. Then install it, edit the configuration for the services, then add a link block to unrealircd.conf for the services, then run the services daemon. You should see something like:

--my.irc.net-- *** LocOps - Link services.irc.net (127.0.0.1) established.
--my.irc.net-- *** LocOps - Link services.irc.net (127.0.0.1) is now synched.

You might also see UnrealIRCd complaining about protocol versions. Also, some services (like Epona) don't support the End-Of-Synch command used by UnrealIRCd to notify of a completely successful uplink, in which case you won't see the "is now synched" message, but the services will still be there.

To enable /nickserv blah, you need to include one of the aliases files appropriate to the services you are running.

This is because most newer service daemons run as psuedo-servers. Thus, to make them work properly, you need a C:Line, N:Line, H:Line, and U:Line for the services. (In UnrealIRCd, this is the link and ulines block. !!! Remeber the "link::hub *;" directive or OperServ JUPE will cause UnrealIRCd to drop the link !!!)

In the future, please try and post things in the appropriate forum. This is clearly a services question.

Epona is no longer in developement. It was taken over by anope. I used anope and love it. You can get it at http://www.anope.org

Anope doesn't run on Windows.

There's an Anope ported to Wincrap.

thx in advance!

Add to unrealircd.conf:

Code: Select all

link services.test.ath.cx {
user *;
host *;
bind-ip "127.0.0.1";
hub *; # OperServ JUPE will NOT work without!
pass-connect "blah";
pass-receive "blah";
};

ulines {
"services.test.ath.cx";
};

Modify blocks as necessary.

The only problem I have with services is that I have to start them manually. On Windows XP Pro, this is very irritating, because I have to put them in Startup and basically log in before they'll run.

That's why I'm going to write my own services (based on Epona, since I can't seem to d/l Anope right now) which will run as an NT Service (i.e. in the background).

aquanight there is no need to use firedaemons they can run any program as a service

Will it properly shutdown the service (SIGTERM, etc), or does it just terminate the thing in the middle of a DB Save?

Just do what I do - try it and see. (I'll try it out this evening and let you know what the results are tomorrow morning.)

Hmmm... What a waste of 5 mins of reading. Unreal doesn't support services... sorry you all have to face fact.
