Shellby

Shellby is an IRC bot built mostly in bash script. This allows you to write handlers that work on the IRC input as a stream, with stdout being sent to the IRC server.

Motivation

Yeah, yeah, but your [developers] were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

Dr. Ian Malcolm

Usage

Configure ~/.shellby/etc/config with appropriate values then run bin/shellby.

If you register the account for the bot you can add a ~/.shellby/etc/password file containing just the nickserv password and it will auth itself on join.

Dependencies

  • ncat (provided by nmap)
  • dos2unix
  • gawk
  • bash >=4

Data

The files for the gh command are not included in the repository. I have compiled a list of submissions for use with the bot, but I do not believe that I am allowed to redistribute said content. Email me if you would like a copy.
