Upstart job scrips to launch Supybot as multiple IRC bots.

README.md

Install

• Make sure you installed Supybot.

• These Upstart scripts assume you configured Supybot as:

  • Running under supybot user.
  • Have /home/supbybot/running/ folder to contain data of all running instances (multiple bot).
  • This running folder is divided to many subfolders, each for a channel each bot joins. For example, you want an instance of Supybot to listen on #fossasia channel, you create /home/supbybot/running/fossasia folder. Right in this folder, you can running supybot-wizard command to setup the bot. The name of config file has to be the channel name. For example, fossasia.conf file for #fossasia channel.

• Upstart scrips are installed in /etc/init/.

• Document to read more: http://supybook.fealdia.org/latest/, http://supybot.fr.cr/doc/use/index.html

Use

• Run one bot:

start supybot CHANNEL=xxx

and there must be a bot config at /home/supybot/running/xxx/xxx.conf.

• Run all bots:

start supybotall

• Stop all bots:

initctl emit supybot-stop-all

or
