- FAQ
- ===
- Where is IDC 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 IDC 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 idc 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 idc bots in ii:
- #!/bin/sh
- chan="#yourchannel"
- tail -f "${chan}/out" | while read -r line; do
- cmd=$(printf '%s\n' "$line" | cut -d ' ' -f 4-)
- name=$(printf '%s\n' "$line" | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | tr -d '<>')
- if [ "$cmd" = "!rand" ]; then
- r="$RANDOM"
- if expr "$r" "%" "10"; then
- echo "$name: $r" >> "${chan}/in"
- fi
- fi
- done
- This will just spam a channel but think about using nagios2idc or you can
- use ii to generate channel stats. Your imagination should be boundless.
