07:50 <framling> Sorry if this is a noob question, but how are bots usually run? Called from /etc/rc.local?

08:01 <Netfeed> i built cinchize to be able to run basic bots easily as daemons, but you can always run them inside a screen or something like that

08:10 <framling> Well I've been running my little bot in screen, but my VPS seems to get restarted a lot and I'd like to have it start at boot, but I can't get it working by calling it in /etc/rc.local.

09:41 <dominikh> step one would be to change to a more reliable hoster :-P as for running it at boot, you'll have to name sure that you're running it under the right user, and if using rvm, rbenv or similar that you run it in the right environment

09:41 <dominikh> *make sure. writing on a phone is painful

17:32 <ex0a> how do i access the bot configuration settings like the channel(s) it is in?

17:38 <dominikh> bot.channels ?

17:43 <ex0a> okay i wasn't sure if there was a different way to access it

17:43 <ex0a> not very familiar with ruby

20:03 <davidh_> quick question - is there any way to use bot.nick in a plugin match?

20:06 <dominikh> if you use lambdas, yeah

20:07 <dominikh> match {|m| m is the message; m.bot.nick is the bot's nick; return either a string or a regexp that should be used for the actual match; }

20:07 <dominikh> eh, match lambda {...

20:21 <davidh_> thanks, got it working now

20:28 <dominikh> hah
