Title: auto logchan on
Post by: diskman on May 21, 2006, 10:16:07 PM

hi ;)

i use the logchan function to post the request of a new vhost in various chanels so my helpops can see there is a new vhost request and activate or reject them
but if the services going down and starting again the logchan is always off

i think it could be a nice feauture to switch logchan permanently on via services.conf

Ive found that after supplying the command line parameter "-logchan" on windows that it is started automatically. But unless you have properly secured the log channel i would not recommend having it start automatically anyway.

the example cron script that comes with Anope has an ANOARGS "" field ... place -logchan in it.

I know that this is a bit of a bump, but i didn't want to start a topic, since i have this same problem. First of all, when i started anope through the command prompt (on windows), i typed "anope -logchan" which is what i thought this topic said to do. However, that didn't work. I also don't know where that cron script is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

crontab is a Unix type program that uses scripts to perform automated tasks.

There is a win32 port for cron at: http://cronw.sourceforge.net/ but I have never used it.

Start Anope with -logchan. Also, make sure you set the LogChannel parameter in your services.conf, and make sure the channel is registered and you atleast lock modes +ntO on it (for Unreal). This will ensure only IRCops can enter it. If you only want Administrators, lock mode +A instead of +O
