NURDbot is a small IRC bot based on the fantastic jsonbot by Bart Thate. It runs on Tankstation.
Writing custom commands (AKA plugs)
Extensions go in /home/nurdbot/.jsb/myplugs/socket. In theory you could load a plugin with:
!plug-enable <plugin name>
In practice it turns out you have to kill the bot, start it again (see below how) and then do the !plug-enable.
Reloading the bot
- kill process starting with "python2.7 ./bin/jsb-irc"
- as user nurdbot, run the following
screen ~/jsonbot/botstart.sh
