4 Where is IRC command xy (ignore etc.)? |
|
5 -------------------------------------- |
|
6 ii is for advanced users, please use standard tools like awk, sed and gr… |
|
7 this. This can be done easily and will not bloat the code. |
|
8 |
|
9 |
|
10 Where is a graphical interface? |
|
11 ------------------------------- |
|
12 Basically ii follows the UNIX philosophy so it is only file based. But it |
|
13 should be easy to build different interface because they only have to ha… |
|
14 the FIFOs and output files. Feel free to implement or wait until we have… |
|
15 this. Actually I use ii in combination with vim, multitail and screen an… |
|
16 like a charm. |

|
19 Which commands are supported? |
|
20 ----------------------------- |
|
21 j (join or msg), t (topic), a (away), n (nick), l (leave). The missing a… |
|
22 obsolete or can be easily used by typing the IRC commands itself (i.e. /… |
|
23 instead of /who). |
|

|
25 |
|
26 How can I recognize queries? |
|
27 ---------------------------- |
|
28 ii itself doesn't support this but the queries.sh script is an example |
|
29 of how to get the new and changed files in your irc directory. |
|
30 To get an instant notice of a new file other mechanisms like inotify/dno… |
|
31 could be used as well but I was too lazy to try it out since the script |
|
32 is enough for me. |
|
33 |
|
34 |
|
35 What other fancy stuff can I do with ii? |
|
36 ---------------------------------------- |
|
37 It is very easy to write irc bots in ii: |
|
38 |
|
39 #!/bin/sh |
|
40 chan="#yourchannel" |
|
41 tail -f "${chan}/out" | while read -r line; do |
|
42 cmd=$(printf '%s\n' "$line" | cut -d ' ' -f 4-) |
|
43 name=$(printf '%s\n' "$line" | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | tr -d '… |
|
44 if [ "$cmd" = "!rand" ]; then |
|
45 r="$RANDOM" |
|
46 if expr "$r" "%" "10"; then |
|
47 echo "$name: $r" >> "${chan}/in" |
|
48 fi |
|
49 fi |
|
50 done |
|
51 |
|
52 This will just spam a channel but think about using nagios2irc or you can |
|
53 use ii to generate channel stats. Your imagination should be boundless. |
