## Logging in and out
|
|
You cannot use any of the admin commands unless you login. Note that the [`login`](#login) command requires that your currently
|
|
connected IRC hostmask matches the hostmask configured for the user account.
|
|
|
|
You can keep your user account permanently logged in by setting a couple of [user metadata](#user-metadata-list) values. See
|
|
the [user metadata list](#user-metadata-list) for more information.
|
|
|
|
### login
|
|
Logs into PBot.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `login [channel] <password>`
|
|
|
|
### logout
|
|
Logs out of PBot.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `logout`
|
|
|
|
## User-management
|
|
### useradd
|
|
Adds a new user to PBot.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `useradd <username> <hostmasks> [channels [capabilities [password]]]`
|
|
|
|
Parameter | Description
|
|
--- | ---
|
|
`username` | A unique name to identify this account (usually the `nick` of the user, but it can be any identifier).
|
|
`hostmasks` | The hostmasks from which this user is recognized/allowed to login from (e.g., `somenick!*@*.somedomain.com` or `*!*@unaffiliated/someuser`). Can be a comma-separated list of values.
|
|
`channels` | The channels this user belongs to; use `global` for all channels. Can be a comma-separated list of values.
|
|
`capabilities` | A comma-separated list of [user-capabilities](#user-capabilities) for this user.
|
|
`password` | The password the user will use to login (from `/msg`, obviously). Generates a random password if omitted. Users may view and set their password by using the [`my`](Commands.md#my) command.
|
|
|
|
### userdel
|
|
Removes a user from PBot.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `userdel <username>`
|
|
|
|
### userset
|
|
Sets [metadata](#user-metadata-list) or [user-capabilities](#user-capabilities-list) for a user account. See also: [user metadata list](#user-metadata-list).
|
|
|
|
If `key` is omitted, it will list all the keys and values that are set. If `value` is omitted, it will show the value for `key`.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `userset <username> [<key> [value]]`
|
|
|
|
### userunset
|
|
Deletes a [metadata](#user-metadata-list) or [user-capability](#user-capabilities-list) from a user account.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `userunset <username> <key>`

|
|
|
#### User metadata list
|
|
This is a list of recognized metadata keys for user accounts.
|
|
|
|
Name | Description
|
|
--- | ---
|
|
`autologin` | Automatically log the user in when they join the channel. *Note: make sure the user account's hostmask wildcards are as restrictive as possible.*
|
|
`autoop` | Give the user `operator` status when they join the channel. *Note: make sure the user account's hostmask wildcards are as restrictive as possible.*
|
|
`autovoice` | Give the user `voiced` status when they join the channel. *Note: make sure the user account's hostmask wildcards are as restrictive as possible.*
|
|
[capabilities](#user-capabilities-list) | [User-capabilities](#user-capabilities) are managed as user metadata.

|
|
`units` | Sets the unit for Wolfram\|Alpha answers (`imperial` or `metric`)
|
|
|
|
### Listing users
|
|
To list user accounts, use the `users` command. This is not an admin command, but
|
|
it is included here for completeness. Users with a plus (+) sign next their name have
|
|
[user-capabilities](#user-capabilities) set on their account.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `users [channel]`
|
|
|
|
When the optional `[channel]` argument is provided, only users for that channel
|
|
will be listed; no global users will be listed.
|
|
|
|
When `[channel]` is omitted and the command is used in a channel, it will list
|
|
the users for that channel, plus all global users.
|
|
|
|
When `[channel]` is omitted and the command is used from private message, it will
|
|
list all users from all channels, including global users.
|
|
|
|
## User capabilities
|
|
PBot uses a user-capability system to control what users can and cannot do. User-capabilities
|
|
provides fine-grained permissions over various PBot functionality.
|
|
|
|
### Introduction
|
|
For example, imagine a user named alice. alice has no capabilities granted yet.
|
|
She tries to use the [`ban`](#banmute) command:
|
|
|
|
<alice> !ban somebody
|
|
<PBot> The ban command requires the can-ban capability, which your user account does not have.
|
|
|
|
Suppose alice tries to grant herself the can-ban capability:
|
|
|
|
<alice> !my can-ban 1
|
|
<PBot> The can-ban metadata requires the can-modify-capabilities capability, which your user account does not have.
|
|
|
|
To grant her the `can-ban` capability, a user with the `can-userset` and `can-modifiy-capabilities` capabilities
|
|
can use the [`userset`](#userset) command:
|
|
|
|
<bob> !userset alice can-ban 1
|
|
|
|
Now alice can use the `ban` command.
|
|
|
|
Let's consider the [`mode`](#mode) command. Channel operators can use their IRC client's `/mode` command to
|
|
set any channel modes, including any undesirable modes (such as +k). Suppose you'd prefer to limit
|
|
their modes to just a specific subset of all modes. You can do this with user-capabilities. To do so,
|
|
instead of making them channel operators you can make them PBot users and grant them specific PBot
|
|
user-capabilities.
|
|
|
|
First grant the user the `can-mode` capability so they can use the PBot [`mode`](#mode) command. Then grant them the specific
|
|
`can-mode-<flag>` capabilities. To allow them to set any modes without restriction, grant them the `can-mode-any`
|
|
capability.
|
|
|
|
See this demonstration:
|
|
|
|
<alice> !mode +b test
|
|
<PBot> The mode command requires the can-mode capability, which your user account does not have.
|
|
<bob> !userset alice can-mode 1
|
|
<alice> !mode +b test
|
|
<PBot> Your user account does not have the can-mode-b capability required to set this mode.
|
|
<bob> !userset alice can-mode-b 1
|
|
<alice> !mode +b test
|
|
* PBot sets mode +b test!*@*
|
|
<alice> !mode +k lol
|
|
<PBot> Your user account does not have the can-mode-k capability required to set this mode.
|
|
|
|
As you can see, user-capabilities can be very flexible and very powerful in configuring your
|
|
channel users. Check out [grouping capabilities](#grouping-capabilities) in the upcoming section
|
|
of this document, as well. Read on!
|
|
|
|
### cap
|
|
Use the `cap` command to list capabilities, to manage capability groups and to
|
|
see what capabilities a user has.
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
cap list [capability] |
|
|
cap group <existing or new capability group> <existing capabilities...> |
|
|
cap ungroup <existing capability group> <grouped capability> |
|
|
cap userhas <user> [capability] |
|
|
cap whohas <capability>
|
|
|
|
#### Listing capabilities
|
|
Use `cap list [capability]` to list user-capabilities.
|
|
|
|
If `[capability]` is omitted, the command will list all available capabilities.
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> cap list
|
|
<PBot> Capabilities: admin (25 caps), botowner (71 caps), can-ban (1 cap), can-deop (1 cap),
|
|
can-devoice (1 cap), can-mode-any (53 caps), can-mute (1 cap), can-op (1 cap), can-unban (1 cap),
|
|
can-unmute (1 cap), can-voice (1 cap), chanmod (4 caps), chanop (10 caps), moderator (4 caps),
|
|
can-actiontrigger, can-akalink, can-akaunlink, can-antispam, can-blacklist, ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Grouping capabilities
|
|
Capabilities can be grouped together into a collection, which can then be applied to a user.
|
|
Capability groups can contain nested groups.
|
|
|
|
In the [listing capabilities](#listing-capabilities) example, the `admin` capability is
|
|
a group containing several capabilities, including other grouped capabilites such as the `chanop` capability
|
|
group which itself can contain more groups and capabilities.
|
|
|
|
Observe.
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> cap list admin
|
|
<PBot> Grouped capabilities for admin: can-mode-any (53 caps), chanop (10 caps),
|
|
can-actiontrigger, can-akalink, can-akaunlink, can-antispam, can-blacklist,
|
|
can-chanlist, can-clear-bans, can-clear-mutes, can-countertrigger, can-ignore,
|
|
can-in, can-join, can-kick-wildcard, can-mode, can-op-wildcard, can-part,
|
|
can-unignore, can-useradd, can-userdel, can-userset, can-userunset, can-voice-wildcard
|
|
<!-- -->
|
|
<pragma-> cap list chanop
|
|
<PBot> Grouped capabilities for chanop: can-ban (1 cap), can-deop (1 cap), can-devoice (1 cap),
|
|
can-mute (1 cap), can-op (1 cap), can-unban (1 cap), can-unmute (1 cap), can-voice (1 cap),
|
|
can-invite, can-kick
|
|
<!-- -->
|
|
<pragma-> cap list can-ban
|
|
<PBot> Grouped capabilities for can-ban: can-mode-b
|
|
|
|
##### Creating a new group or adding to an existing group
|
|
To create a new capability group or to add capabilities to an existing group,
|
|
use the `cap group` command.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `cap group <existing or new capability group> <existing capabilities...>`
|
|
|
|
For example, to create a new capability group called `moderator` who can strictly
|
|
only set `mode +m` or `mode -m` and use the `voice` and `devoice` commands:
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> cap group moderator can-voice can-devoice can-mode can-mode-m
|
|
<!-- -->
|
|
<pragma-> cap list moderator
|
|
<PBot> Grouped capabilities for moderator: can-devoice (1 cap), can-voice (1 cap),
|
|
can-mode, can-mode-m
|
|
|
|
Then you can set this capability group on users with the [`userset`](#userset) command.
|
|
|
|
##### Removing capabilites from a group or deleting a group
|
|
To remove capabilities from a group or to delete a group, use the `cap ungroup`
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `cap ungroup <existing capability group> <grouped capability>`
|
|
|
|
When the last capability is removed from a group, the group itself will be deleted.
|
|
|
|
#### Giving capabilities to users
|
|
To give capabilities to a user, use the [`useradd`](#useradd) or the [`userset`](#userset) commands.
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> useradd alice global alice!*@* moderator
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> userset alice moderator 1
|
|
|
|
#### Checking user capabilities
|
|
To see what capabilities a user account has, use the `cap userhas` command.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `cap userhas <user> [capability]`
|
|
|
|
If the `[capability]` argument is omitted, the command will list all capability
|
|
groups and capabilities the user account has.
|
|
|
|
If the `[capability]` argument is provided, the command will determine if the
|
|
capability is granted to the user account.
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> cap userhas alice
|
|
<PBot> User alice has capabilities: moderator (4 caps)
|
|
<!-- -->
|
|
<pragma-> cap userhas alice can-voice
|
|
<PBot> Yes. User alice has capability can-voice.
|
|
<!-- -->
|
|
<pragma-> cap userhas alice can-op
|
|
<PBot> No. User alice does not have capability can-op.
|
|
|
|
#### Listing users who have a capability
|
|
To list all the users that have a capability, use the `cap whohas` command.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `cap whohas <capability>`
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> cap whohas moderator
|
|
<PBot> Users with capability moderator: alice
|
|
<!-- -->
|
|
<pragma-> cap whohas can-voice
|
|
<PBot> Users with capability can-voice: alice
|
|
|
|
#### User capabilities list
|
|
This is a list of built-in capability groups and capabilities. You can create
|
|
new custom capability groups with the [`cap group`](#creating-a-new-group-or-adding-to-an-existing-group) command.
|
|
|
|
Please note that PBot is sometimes updated more frequently than this list is updated. To see the most
|
|
current list of capabilities, use the [`cap list`](#listing-capabilities) command or see the
|
|
[`data/capabilities`](../data/capabilities) file.

To temporarily join a channel, use the `join` command. The channels may be a comma-
|
|
separated list.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `join <channel(s)>`
|
|
|
|
### part
|
|
To temporarily leave a channel (that is, without removing it from PBot's list
|
|
of channels), use the `part` command. The channels may be a comma-separated
|
|
list.
|
|
|
|
Usage `part <channel(s)>`
|
|
|
|
### chanadd
|
|
`chanadd` permanently adds a channel to PBot's list of channels to auto-join and manage.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `chanadd <channel>`
|
|
|
|
### chanrem

`chanrem` removes a channel from PBot's list of channels to auto-join and manage.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `chanrem <channel>`
|
|
|
|
### chanset
|
|
`chanset` sets a channel's metadata. See [channel metadata list](#channel-metadata-list)
|
|
|
|
Usage: `chanset <channel> [key [value]]`
|
|
|
|
If both `key` and `value` are omitted, chanset will show all the keys and values for that channel. If only `value` is omitted, chanset will show the value for that key.
|
|
|
|
### chanunset
|
|
`chanunset` deletes a channel's metadata key.

`enabled` | When set to a true value, PBot will auto-join this channel after identifying to NickServ (unless `general.autojoin_wait_for_nickserv` is `0`, in which case auto-join happens immediately).
|
|
`chanop` | When set to a true value, PBot will perform channel management (anti-flooding, ban-evasion, etc).
|

<PBot> 701 nicks in #c: pragma-: last spoken 1h ago, etc...
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> nicklist #c pragma-
|
|
<PBot> Nicklist information for pragma-!~chaos@user/pragmatic-chaos in #c: last spoken 1h ago, etc...
|
|
|
|
### banlist
|
|
The `banlist` command displays information about entries in PBot's internal banlist. PBot's internal banlist
|
|
remembers the original setters and timestamps of ban entries when the IRC server forgets them. PBot's internal
|
|
banlist can store extra metadata such as ban-reasons, ban-timeouts, etc.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `banlist <channel>`
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> banlist #c
|
|
<PBot> Ban list for #c: 1 ban: loser!*@* on Tue Aug 31 06:41:24 2021 PDT (14d15h ago) by candide!~pbot3@about/c/bot/candide for chat-flooding (2h remaining); 0 mutes.
|
|
|
|
### op
|
|
### deop
|
|
### voice
|
|
### devoice
|
|
The `op`, `deop`, `voice` and `devoice` commands all perform their respective named action.
|
|
|
|
The `targets` parameter can be a list of multiple nicks, optionally containing
|
|
wildcards. If `targets` is omitted, the action will be performed on the caller.
|
|
|
|
Usages:
|
|
|
|
In channel:
|
|
|
|
* `op [targets]`
|
|
* `deop [targets]`
|
|
* `voice [targets]`
|
|
* `devoice [targets]`
|
|
|
|
From private message:
|
|
|
|
* `op <channel> [targets]`
|
|
* `deop <channel> [targets]`
|
|
* `voice <channel> [targets]`
|
|
* `devoice <channel> [targets]`
|
|
|
|
### mode
|
|
Sets or unsets channel or user modes.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `mode [channel] <flags> [targets]`
|
|
|
|
PBot extends the IRC `MODE` command in useful ways. For instance, the `targets`
|
|
parameter may contain wildcards. To op everybody whose nick ends with `|dev` you
|
|
can do `!mode +o *|dev` in a channel.
|
|
|
|
### ban/mute
|
|
Bans or mutes a user. If the argument is a nick instead of a hostmask, it will determine an appropriate banmask for that nick.
|
|
The argument can be a comma-separated list of multiple nicks or masks.
|
|
|
|
Usages:
|
|
- `ban <mask> [timeout (default: 24h) [reason]] [-c <channel>] [-t <timeout>] [-r <reason>]`
|
|
- `mute <mask> [timeout (default: 24h) [reason]] [-c <channel>] [-t <timeout>] [-r <reason>]`
|
|
|
|
If `timeout` is omitted, PBot will ban the user for 24 hours. Timeout can be specified as an relative time in English; for instance, `5 minutes`, `1 month and 2 weeks`, `next thursday`, `friday after next`, `forever` and such.
|
|
|
|
If a ban already exists, you may update the timeout or reason at any time.
|
|
|
|
### unban/unmute
|
|
Unbans or unmutes a user. If the argument is a nick instead of a hostmask, it will find all bans that match any of that nick's hostmasks or NickServ accounts and unban them.
|
|
The argument can be a comma-separated list of multiple nicks or masks. If the argument is `*` then all bans/mutes for the channel will be removed.
|
|
|
|
Usages:
|
|
- `unban <nick/hostmask,...> [channel]`
|
|
- `unmute <nick/hostmask,...> [channel]`
|
|
|
|
### checkban
|
|
The `checkban` command displays information about an entry in PBot's internal banlist. PBot's internal banlist
|
|
remembers the original setters and timestamps of ban entries when the IRC server forgets them. PBot's internal
|
|
banlist can store extra metadata such as ban-reasons, ban-timeouts, etc.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `checkban <mask> [channel]`
|
|
|
|
If the `[channel]` option is omitted, the channel in which the command is invoked will be used.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> checkban loser!*@*
|
|
<PBot> loser!*@* banned in #c on Tue Aug 31 06:41:24 2021 PDT (14d15h ago) by candide!~pbot3@about/c/bot/candide because chat-flooding (2h remaining)
|
|
|
|
### checkmute
|
|
The `checkmute` command is identical to the [`checkban`](#checkban) command, except for mutes instead of bans.
|
|
|
|
Usage: checkmute <mask> [channel]
|
|
|
|
### invite
|
|
Invites a user to a channel.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `invite [channel] <nick>`
|
|
|
|
### kick
|
|
Removes a user from the channel. `<nick>` can be a comma-separated list of multiple users, optionally containing wildcards. If `[reason]` is omitted, a random insult will be used.
|
|
|
|
Usage from channel: `kick <nick,...> [reason]`
|
|
From private message: `kick <channel> <nick,...> [reason]`
|
|
|
|
## Applet-management
|
|
Note that applets are "reloaded" each time they are executed. There is no need to `refresh` after editing an applet.
|
|
|
|
### load
|
|
This command loads an applet as a PBot command. It is equivalent to `factadd`ing a new keyword and then setting
|
|
its `type` to `applet`.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `load <keyword> <applet>`
|
|
|
|
For example, to load `applets/qalc.sh` as the `qalc` command:
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> !load qalc qalc.sh
|
|
|
|
### unload
|
|
This command unloads an applet. It is equivalent to deleting the factoid keyword
|
|
the applet was loaded as.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `unload <keyword>`
|
|
|
|
### Listing applets
|
|
To list the loaded applets, use the `list applets` command. This is not an admin command, but
|
|
it is included here for completeness.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `list applets`
|
|
|
|
## Plugin-management

|
|
|
|
Usage: `unplug <plugin>`

Usage: `replug <plugin>`
|
|
|
|
### pluglist
|
|
Lists all currently loaded plugins. This isn't an admin command, but it is included here for completeness.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `pluglist`
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> !pluglist
|
|
<PBot> Loaded plugins: ActionTrigger, AntiAway, AntiKickAutoRejoin, AntiNickSpam,
|
|
AntiRepeat, AntiTwitter, AutoRejoin, Battleship, Connect4, Counter, Date,
|
|
GoogleSearch, Quotegrabs, RemindMe, RestrictedMod, Spinach, TypoSub, UrlTitles,
|
|
Weather, Wolfram, Wttr
|
|
|
|
## Command metadata
|
|
### cmdset
|
|
Use `cmdset` to set various [metadata](#command-metadata-list) for built-in commands.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `cmdset <command> [key [value]]`
|
|
|
|
Omit `<key>` and `<value>` to list all the keys and values for a command. Specify `<key>`, but omit `<value>` to see the value for a specific key.
|
|
|
|
### cmdunset
|
|
Use `cmdunset` to delete various [metadata](#command-metadata-list) from built-in commands.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `cmdunset <command> <key>`
|
|
|
|
### Command metadata list
|
|
Name | Description
|
|
--- | ---
|
|
`help` | The text to display for the [`help`](Commands.md#help) command.
|
|
`cap-required` | When set to a true value then the command requires that users have the `can-<command name>` [capability](#user-capabilities) before they can invoke it.
|
|
`dont-replace-pronouns` | When set to a true value then pronouns such as "my", "me", "your", etc, will not be intuitively replaced with nicks and such.
|
|
`background-process` | When set to a true value then this command will be executed as a background process. Use this for commands that can potentially take a long time to complete.
|
|
`preserve_whitespace` | When set to a true value, do not collapse ajdacent whitespace characters in command output.
|
|
`process-timeout` | The timeout, in seconds, before the process is automatically killed. If not set then the `processmanager.default_timeout` [registry](Registry.md) value will be used.
|
|
|
|
## Event-queue management
|
|
### eventqueue
|
|
PBot uses an event queue to schedule future tasks or commands. The `eventqueue` command can
|
|
be used to list or remove upcoming events. It can also be used to schedule a command.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `eventqueue list [filter regex] | add <relative time> <command> [-repeat] | remove <event>`
|
|
|
|
For example, to schedule a command to run 1 hour from now:
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> eventqueue add "1 hour" echo Ta-da!
|
|
<PBot> Command added to event queue.
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> eventqueue list
|
|
<PBot> Queued events: 1) in 1h: command #channel echo Ta-da!
|
|
|
|
... 1 hour later ...
|
|
|
|
<PBot> Ta-da!
|
|
|
|
The `remove` command's `<event>` argument can include wildcards. For example,
|
|
to remove all `command` events:
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> eventqueue remove command *
|
|
<PBot> Removed 1 event.
|
|
|
|
Or to remove all `command` events in `#channel`:
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> eventqueue remove command #channel *
|
|
|
|
## Process-management

|
If neither options `-a` or `-t` are provided then the `pids...` option is required.
|
|
|
|
## Message-history/user-tracking
|
|
PBot's message history uses an advanced user tracking algorithm in order to ensure that
|
|
messages are being stored in the right message history accounts. This is also used for
|
|
detecting ban-evasions and looking up also-known-as aliases.
|
|
|
|
Note that "message history account" and "PBot user account" are distinct accounts.
|
|
|
|
### recall
|
|
The `recall` command queries the message history and displays matching results.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `recall [nick [history [channel]]] [-c <channel>] [-t <text>] [-b <context before>] [-a <context after>] [-x <filter to nick>] [-n <count>] [-r raw mode] [+ ...]`
|
|

|
|
`-n <count>` | Limit results to `<count>` (integral); implies `-x`
|
|
`-r` | Show only the message without any nickname or timestamp prefixes

The `id` command lists various user-tracking and user-account metadata about a user hostmask.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `id [nickname | hostmask | message account id]`
|

<PBot> pragma- (pragma-!~chaos@user/pragmatic-chaos): user id: 2; user account: pragma- (logged in); NickServ: pragma-
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> id 2

|
|
|
|
### akalink
|
|
PBot's message history uses an advanced user-tracking algorithm in order to ensure that
|
|
messages are being stored in the right message history accounts. This is also used for
|
|
detecting ban-evasions and looking up also-known-as aliases.
|
|
|
|
But sometimes users connect from wholly distinct accounts with no obviously linkable metadata.
|
|
If you know for certain that they are the same individual, you can use the `akalink` command
|
|
to manually link two message history accounts together.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `akalink <target id> <alias id> [type]`
|
|
|
|
The optional `type` argument can be `0` (weak) or `1` (strong). Defaults to `1`.
|
|
|
|
Use the [`id`](#id) command to look up message history account ids for a given hostmask.
|
|
|
|
### akaunlink
|
|
The `akaunlink` command manually unlinks two message history accounts from each other.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `akaunlink <target id> <alias id>`
|
|
|
|
Use the `-r` option with the `aka` command to see the `target -> alias` relationship.
|
|
|
|
### akadelete
|
|
The `akadelete` command deletes message history account metadata or entire message history accounts.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `akadelete [-hn] <account id or hostmask>`
|
|
|
|
Option | Description
|
|
--- | ---
|
|
`-h` | delete only hostmask
|
|
`-n` | delete only nickserv accounts
|
|
|
|
If neither options `-h` or `-n` are given, then the entire message history account will be deleted.
|
|
|
|
## Miscellaneous
|
|
These are some of the miscellaneous admin commands that have not been covered
|
|
above or in the rest of the PBot documentation.
|
|
|
|
### export
|
|
Exports specified list to HTML file in `$data_dir`.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `export <factoids|quotegrabs>`
|
|
|
|
### refresh
|
|
Refreshes/reloads PBot core modules and plugins (not the command-line applets since those are executed/loaded each time they are invoked).
|
|
|
|
For example, suppose you edit some PBot source file, be it a core file such as PBot/Factoids.pm or
|
|
a Plugin such as Plugins/Wttr.pm. Rather than shut the bot down and restart it, you can simply use
|
|
the `refresh` command to reload all modified PBot core files and Plugins.
|
|
|
|
### reload
|
|
Reloads a data or configuration file from `$data_dir`. This is useful if you
|
|
manually edit a data or configuration file and you want PBot to know about the
|
|
modifications.
|
|
|
|
Usage `reload <admins|bantimeouts|blacklist|channels|factoids|funcs|ignores|mutetimeouts|registry>`
|
|
|
|
### sl
|
|
Sends a raw IRC command to the server. Use the `sl` command when
|
|
PBot does not have a built-in command to do what you need.
|
|
|
|
Usage: `sl <irc command>`
|
|
|
|
<pragma-> sl PRIVMSG #channel :Test message
|
|
