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.
