### How do I change my password?
|
||||
Use the [`my`](Commands.md#my) command to set the `password` user metadata for your
|
||||
user account. Your hostmask must match the user account.
|
||||
### When I type `!version` it says new version available?
|
||||
Whenever I push out an update to PBot, I increment the version. The PBot
|
||||
[`version`](Commands.md#version) command checks PBot's VERSION.pm file on GitHub
|
||||
to see if it is newer.
|
||||
|
||||
my password <your password>
|
||||
You can live-update PBot without shutting it down. None of your files in your custom
|
||||
ata-directories will be touched unless that update includes a migration script in the
|
||||
`updates/` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I make PBot remember my `date` timezone?
|
||||
Use the [`my`](Commands.md#my) command to set the `timezone` user metadata for your
|
||||
user account. Your hostmask must match the user account.
|
||||
If you used `git` to install PBot, type `git pull` in the `pbot` directory. This will
|
||||
update the PBot files to the latest version from GitHub. If you used ZIP archives, download
|
||||
the latest files and extract them again.
|
||||
|
||||
my timezone <your timezone>
|
||||
Then, in your PBot instance on IRC, use the [`refresh`](Admin.md#refresh) command to refresh
|
||||
the PBot core and plugins. No restart required!
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I make PBot remember my `weather` location?
|
||||
Use the [`my`](Commands.md#my) command to set the `location` user metadata for your
|
||||
user account. Your hostmask must match the user account.
|
||||
|
||||
my location <your location>
|
||||
If there is a migration script for this update then `refresh` will say "Migration available;
|
||||
cannot refresh." and you will need to restart PBot at some point for the update to take effect.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I change the bot trigger?
|
||||
To change the default `!` trigger to a different character use the [`regset`](Registry.md#regset)

|
||||
|
||||
If your command is a command-line module, use the [`factset`](Factoids.md#factset) command
|
||||
to set the `preserve_whitespace` [factoid metadata](Factoids.md#factoid-metadata-list) instead.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I change my password?
|
||||
If you have a NickServ account or a unique hostmask, you don't need a PBot password.
|
||||
The `stayloggedin` metadata on your user account can be set instead.
|
||||
|
||||
But if you prefer to be safe instead of sorry, use the [`my`](Commands.md#my) command
|
||||
to set the `password` user metadata for your user account. Your hostmask must match the
|
||||
user account.

### How do I make PBot remember my `date` timezone?
|
||||
Use the [`my`](Commands.md#my) command to set the `timezone` user metadata for your
|
||||
user account. Your hostmask must match the user account.
