This was a bit of a trick to get set up, so here it is for anyone who comes across it in search results.
- Set up the account as usual (note the username and password)
- Set the defualt buffer size to 0. Every time the bot reconnects after a crash, it would try to respond to the commands it
hear
orrespond
in the buffer, and might crash it again. - Go ahead and define a network and channel for your bot. Note the
network
name. - You should now see a "ghost" for your hubot connected.
- Look at the ZNC user list. The hubot user will show 1 network, but 0 clients.
