10:22 <Kannkor> Hi. I just started looking at Ruby options for IRC bots. My primary goal is to have all chat passed between 2 irc servers/channels. IE: server1#channel1, and server2#channel1 (channels are the same name). I believe from reading I can't have 1 bot connected to 2 servers at the same time. Does anyone have a suggestion for handling this scenario?

10:23 <dominikh> two bots, one per server, each running in their own thread.

10:24 <Kannkor> And for passing the information to the other channel?

10:28 <dominikh> call methods on objects. bot1.channels.find("#foo").send(msg), or whatever the actual API is

10:31 <Kannkor> I'm not sure I'm quite understanding. Let me give an example of what I want to do, to make sure we're on the same page. On Server1#channel1, I (as a user) say: Hello, I want the bot to read from Server1#channel1, then output that text into Server2#channel1.

10:32 <Kannkor> I created a super simple bot using cinch already to read the text/user etc. Then hit a google stump when reading about multiple servers. I'm just not sure how to pass that information across.

10:32 <dominikh> register an event listener for channel messages, call the correct methods on the other bot instance to send the message.

10:52 <Kannkor> Do you know if there are any examples of that out there that run multiple bot instances? Do I need to do this as plugins? So far I"m just working off various examples from git, and they all use: bot.start, which seems to be thread locking so I can't start 2 instances
