My bot dies and the last entry in the logfile is “received terminate signal”. What does that mean and can i prevent it?
There’s nothing you can do to prevent it. It means the system administrator is killing the Eggdrop process. Most of the time, it’s an automatic thing that happens when the system is being rebooted, so it’s harmless. If you have a crontab running, the bot will get restarted when the system is back online. Occasionally, the system administrator will kill the bot manually. For example, if he/she doesn’t want bots running on the system.
