Bashbot was originally an idea and bash snippet from Jonathan Hitchcock. I took it and bastardised it beyond imagination.

It's a fully-featured, modular IRC bot.

The modules come in 2 types:

• Commands are matched by filename. I.e. bot: foo bar will run the command foo if it exists.
• Regex commands are matched by a regex in the file's first line (commented). So a regex-command beginning with # ^(.*) is( also)? (.*)$ will be executed if you try and set a factoid with bot: Spinach is a vegtable

Included modules:

• announce
• builtin
• chanops
• factoid
• google
• insult
• karma
• logs
• say
• tell

Security

This bot is a security nightmare. I haven't found any mistakes, but you'd be insane to run this in anything but the most strictly-controlled environment.

Performance

No optimisation included :-)

Configuration

Some options are in bin/bashbot

The modules are in .bashbot
