All Commands for the Bot are in the ```commands.sh``` file (this should ease upgrades of the bot core). Here you find some examples how to process messages and send out text.
Once you're done editing start the Bot with ```./bashbot.sh start```.
If some thing doesn't work as it should, debug with ```bash -x bashbot.sh```. To stop the Bot run ```./bashbot.sh kill```
To use the functions provided in this script in other scripts simply source bashbot: ```source bashbot.sh```
Have FUN!
