#
# This is a script suitable for use in a crontab. It checks to make sure
# your ircd is running. YOU NEED A SEPARATE CRON JOB FOR EACH IRCD. If your
# ircd isn't found, it'll try to start it back up.
#
# You'll need to edit this script for your ircd.
#
# To check for your ircd every 10 minutes, put the following line in your
# crontab:
# 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /home/mydir/ircdchk
# And if you don't want to get email from crontab when it checks you ircd,
# put the following in your crontab:
# 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /home/mydir/ircdchk >/dev/null 2>&1
#
# change this to the mail address to mail output to:
# MAIL=me
# These values shouldn't need to be changed
# The path to the ircd binary
ircdexe="@BINDIR@"
# The path to the ircd pid file
ircdname="@IRCDDIR@/ircd.pid"
########## don't change anything below here ##########
if test -r $ircdname; then
  # there is a pid file -- is it current?
  ircdpid=`cat $ircdname`
  if `kill -CHLD $ircdpid >/dev/null 2>&1`; then
    # it's still going
    # back out quietly

How to setup crontab for psyBNC

First thing to do is you must edit psbncchk file in your psyBNC folder.
$ nano psybncchk
Search for this line:
PSYBNCPATH=/home/zemra/psybnc
Change the path into your psyBNC path, look at this example:
PSYBNCPATH=/home/zemra/psybnc
Save the file and exit the editor.
Change the default editor by using this command:
$ export EDITOR=nano

Next step is editing the crontab file:
$ crontab -e
Insert this line to the file:
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /home/zemra/psybnc/psybncchk >/dev/null 2>&1
Remember, change the path to your psybnc path.
This crontab command means it will run the psybncchk file every 10 minutes.

How to setup Crontab for an Eggdrop?

PART 1:
"botchk" setup
locate the botchk file in the bots main dir.
type ->     pico botchk    
      You need to edit 4 things in the "botchk"
# change this to the directory you run your bot from:
botdir="/usr/home/user/botdir/"

# change this to the name of your bot's script in that directory:
botscript="./eggdrop eggdrop.conf"

# change this to the nickname of your bot (capitalization COUNTS)
botname="BotNick"

# change this to the name of your bot's userfile (capitalization COUNTS)
userfile="bot.user"
type ->     ctrl+o     Save the file
type ->     ctrl+x     exit pico

PART 2:
Setting up the crontab file
type ->     pico crones     this will be your crontab file
type ->     0,10,20,30,40,50     * * * *      /home/user/botdir/botchk      >/dev/null 2>&1
-     ^--(1)     ^--(2)     ^--(3)     ^--(4)
-     1. time in (minutes) it will check to see if the bot is running
2. tells it to run every hour/day of month/month/year
3. full system path to the location of your botchk file
4. tells the system not to send you mail everytime crontab loads the bot or checks to see if the bot is running (this is a good idea because some sys admins might get upset with all of the emails)
type ->     ctrl+o     Save the file
type ->     ctrl+x     exit pico
type ->     crontab crones     This will load the file "crones" into your crontab. You can check your crontab by typing "crontab -l"
