SUPYBOT(1)                 OpenBSD Reference Manual                 SUPYBOT(1)



NAME
       supybot - A robust and user friendly Python IRC bot

SYNOPSIS
       supybot [options] configFile

DESCRIPTION
       Supybot is a robust, user-friendly, and programmer-friendly Python IRC
       bot.  It aims to be an adequate replacement for most existing IRC bots.
       It includes a very flexible and powerful ACL system for controlling
       access to commands, as well as more than 50 builtin plugins providing
       around 400 actual commands.

OPTIONS
       --version
              Show version of program.

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

       -P, --profile
              Enable profiling.

       -n NICK, --nick=NICK
              Nick the bot should use.

       -u USER, --user=USER
              Full username the bot should use.

       -i IDENT, --ident=IDENT
              Ident the bot should use.

       -d, --daemon
              Determines whether the bot will daemonize.  This is a no-op on
              non-POSIX systems.

       --allow-default-owner
              Determines whether the bot will allow its defaultCapabilities
              not to include "-owner", thus giving all users the owner
              capability by default.  This is dumb, hence we require a
              command-line option to enable it.

       --allow-root
              Determines whether the bot will be allowed to run as root.  You
              do not want this.  Do not do it.  Even if you think you want it,
              you do not.

       --debug
              Determines whether some extra debugging stuff will be logged by
              this script.
