the way i do it is i create a file $HOME/.ircservers and list all my fav irc servers there. then, when i invoke bitchx i use $ bitchx -r $HOME/.ircservers and it starts wif my own list of default servers. note: this only needs to be done once. invoking bitchx after this 1st time will continue to use the list of irc servers even if you don't specify -r $HOME/.ircservers
hope that helps! from da Bobstopper ---------------------Original Mail------------------------------- I'm struggling to get BitchX to recognise my server list. I've put an ircII.servers file in /etc/irc/, copied it to just /etc/irc/servers/, and even /usr/lib/bitchx/. I still can't get it to use my [shorter] list of servers. The only way so far I've managed to do it is by downloading the source package and compiling it straight in, but I don't want to do that. The source says: /* * Set your favorite default server list here. This list should be a * whitespace separated hostname:portnum:password list (with portnums and * passwords optional). This IS NOT an optional definition. Please set this * to your nearest servers. However if you use a seperate 'ircII.servers' * file and the ircII can find it, this setting is overridden. */ Where can I put the ircII.servers file so that `ircII can find it'? -- alisdair mcdiarmid [EMAIL PROTECTED] [the day is done but i'm having fun i think i'm dumb maybe just happy] -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null ----- End of forwarded message from Alisdair McDiarmid -----
