Where is IRC command xy (ignore etc.)?
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
ii is for advanced users, please use standard tools like awk, sed and grep for
|
|
this. This can be done easily and will not bloat the code.
|
|
|
|
Where is a graphical interface?
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
Basically ii follows the UNIX philosophy so it is only file based. But it
|
|
should be easy to build different interface because they only have to handle
|
|
the FIFOs and output files. Feel free to implement or wait until we have done
|
|
this. Actually I use ii in combination with vim, multitail and screen and it works
|
|
like a charm.
|
|
|
|
Which commands are supported?
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
j (join or msg), t (topic), a (away), n (nick), l (leave). The missing are
|
|
obsolete or can be easily used by typing the IRC commands itself (i.e. /WHO
|
|
instead of /who).
|
|
|
|
How can I recognize queries?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
ii itself doesn't support this but the queries.sh script is an example
|
|
of how to get the new and changed files in your irc directory.
|
|
To get an instant notice of a new file other mechanisms like inotify/dnotify
|
|
could be used as well but I was too lazy to try it out since the script
|
|
is enough for me.
|
|
|
|
What other fancy stuff can I do with ii?
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
It is very easy to write irc bots in ii:
|
|
tail -f \#/out | while read foo; do name=echo $foo | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's,<\\(.*\\)>,\\1,'; if 0 -eq expr $RANDOM % 10 then echo "$name: WHAT??" ; fi; done
|
|
This will just spam a channel but think about using nagios2irc or you can
|
|
use ii to generate channel stats. Your imagination should be boundless.
