NAME¶
supybot - A robust and user friendly Python IRC bot
SYNOPSIS¶
supybot [
options]
configFile
DESCRIPTION¶
Supybot is a robust, user-friendly, and programmer-friendly Python IRC
bot. It aims to be an adequate replacement for most existing IRC bots. It
includes a very flexible and powerful ACL system for controlling access to
commands, as well as more than 50 builtin plugins providing around 400 actual
commands.
OPTIONS¶
- --version
- Show version of program.
- -h, --help
- Show summary of options.
- -P, --profile
- Enable profiling.
- -n NICK, --nick=NICK
- Nick the bot should use.
- -u USER, --user=USER
- Full username the bot should use.
- -i IDENT, --ident=IDENT
- Ident the bot should use.
- -d, --daemon
- Determines whether the bot will daemonize. This is a no-op
on non-POSIX systems.
- --allow-default-owner
- Determines whether the bot will allow its
defaultCapabilities not to include "-owner", thus giving all
users the owner capability by default. This is dumb, hence we require a
command-line option to enable it.
- --allow-root
- Determines whether the bot will be allowed to run as root.
You do not want this. Do not do it. Even if you think you want it, you do
not.
- --debug
- Determines whether some extra debugging stuff will be
logged by this script.
