Jyoti - A simple IRC bot for use with shell scripts

Zero dependencies.

Simple usage.

Hackable.

Usage

The idea is that Jyoti can be repurposed easily with shell scripts, removing the need to write a new bot each time.

Here is how Jyoti should be used in general, using all its options:

jyoti                     \
  "rust-repl-bot"         \ # Name
  'irc.freenode.net:9997' \ # Server
  '##rust'                \ # Channel
  './shell-script.sh'       # Script

All arguments are required.

The following are then passed to shell-script.sh as separate lines:

• The message sent to the user.

At this point the script does some work and returns everything on stdout.

You should use the timeout program or similar from coreutils to stop the program if it takes too long to execute in shell scripts.

Run Jyoti multiple times if multiple bots are needed.
