I actually run a bot to handle my operators. I use darkbot, but I'm
working on switching to eggdrop. I run ircd from initd and start
darkbot first to start the instance of ircd and open the primary
channel. ircd gives operator status level 3 to the first user, the
bot in my case. Then I have operator accounts set up with the bot, so
when I connect and join the primary channel the bot automatically
gives me level 1 operator status and then I do /msg bot login password
and the bot gives me level 3 operator status.
If I wasn't using a bot, I'd start a screen session on the server and
start ircd from their and open the channel to give me full operator
status and just leave that session going, reattaching to the session
(which is what I do anyway) when I want to.
I hope this helps,
