Problems with (Debian) ircbot from hobbit-plugins package 🔗 link

Hi all,

I am trying to get the ircbot provided by the hobbit-plugins package
(version 20100527). My xymon version is 4.3.0~beta2.dfsg-6+squeeze1

I get the IRC script to run and it provides this output, and then hangs
after the connecting line indefinitely (unless I cause it to get some sort
of message it will log)


2011-08-22 20:28:23 Tried to down BOARDBUSY: Invalid argument
2011-08-22 20:28:35 Peer not up, flushing message queue
Mon Aug 22 20:28:35 2011 Connecting to 10.194.138.102


To confirm it is not connectivity, I telneted as the hobbit user and even
used IRSSI and was able to connect to the server with no problems.  Anyone
use this functionality and have it working?

Am I simply version mis-matching or is this a known issue?

I found the cause of this.  You are required to have an MOTD on your server
or it never hits the on_connect subroutine
