MOTD

[katsklaw]

Thanks to all again. I'll try all of your suggestions.

EDIT: Still not working I wish there were a simpler way of doing this MOTD....

MOTD isn't hard. In fact it's probably one of the easiest tasks a Server Admin would do just edit it in your favorite editor and type: /rehash -motd

Also, why can't you just use the new flags?

[aquanight]

doc/example.conf says you can still use the old flags. At least the Win32 version does. Would that be inaccurate and need to be removed? (Taken from Win32 - Unreal3.2.2)

Code: Select all

/*
 * NEW: oper {} 
 * OLD: O:Line 
 * Defines an IRC Operator
 * IRC operators are there to keep sanity to the server and usually keep it
 * maintained and connected to the network. 
 * The syntax is as follows: 
 * oper (login) { 
 *     class (class to put them in, if different from I, moves them to new
 *                class); 
 *     from { 
 *        userhost (ident@host);
 *        userhost (ident@host);
 *     }; 
 *     flags
 *     { 
 *       (flags here*);
 *     };
 *     OR
 *     flags "old type flags, like OAaRD";
 * };
 */

No I mean, you can't use the old flags in the new flags block.

From the docs: The oper::flags directive has two formats. If you wish to use the old style oper flags i.e., OAa, you use the flags <flags> method, if you want to use the new style,i.e., services-admin, then you use the flags { <flag>; } method.

so flags "oAr"; would be correct.

Just to add, as far as I am aware, all the "rehash" flags were removed, and no longer do anything. A simple /rehash is all that is now required. Ofc, I may be wrong, but there we go.

w00t: Uh.. see page 1? Angrywolf already commented on that (and so did katsklaw on Angrywolf :p).

Of course, /rehash -motd can still be used to reload only those two files.

Then why not use /rehash -motd when that is all you wish to reload?

^^ That is what I was talking about so don't think me entirely devoid of a brain
