i'm having a little problem with my multi server script.
i'm just doing simple things with an away system and i was wondering how to distinguish cid's from raw server msgs.

at the moment i'm connected to 2 different servers, i send '.raw away etc' to each server using //scid connectid .raw away etc.

when i recieved raw 306, i echo $cid and its always the id of my first connection. is there another identifier i should be using to return the specific id number? i also checked the scid loop to see if the commands were being sent properly and they were echoed ...

scid 1 .raw AWAY away
scid 8 .raw AWAY away

i dunno what the probem is, somebody help me!

Are you looking for $activecid?

i tried $activecid as well but like it still returns the same cid

cid is always going to give you the id of the connection your executing it on. If you want to associtate, say, a server with its id, loop through $scon or $scid.

yea i'll just have to script around it ;/

raw 306:*: echo -a $cid

that gives you only 1 cid?

who not use /scid -a .raw AWAY etc.

btw ?

i'm running each server on 127.0.0.1 connected to the specific servers through a proxy of myself by sockets. whatever raw i get returns the 'active' cid whenever. i'm gonna script around the problem i have because scid doesn't work properly for me. if i connected to servers normally then i wouldn't have this problem. but unfortunately i have now because of the way i dodgily connect to servers.

i didn't use scid -a because i set individual variables so i just did a while loop through the connections to do the additional commands.

problem sorted. just scripting error... i could explain it but nobody's interested!
