Can I have the single bashbot.sh file back?

At the beginning bashbot was simply the file bashbot.sh you can copy everywhere and run the bot. Now we have ‘commands.sh’, ‘mycommands.sh’, ’modules/*.sh’ and much more.

Hey no Problem, if you are finished with your cool bot run dev/make-standalone.sh to create a stripped down Version of your bot containing only ‘bashbot.sh’ and ‘commands.sh’! For more information see Create a stripped down Version of your Bot

Can I send messages from CLI and scripts?

+

Of course, you can send messages from CLI and scripts, simply install bashbot as described here, send the messsage ‘/start’ to set yourself as botadmin and stop the bot with ./bashbot.sh kill.

+

Run the following commands in your bash shell or script while you are in the installation directory:

+
# prepare bash / script to send commands
+export BASHBOT_HOME="$(pwd)"
+source ./bashbot.sh source
+
+# send me a test message
+send_message "$(cat "$BOTADMIN")" "test"
+
+# send me output of a system command
+send_message "$(<"$BOTADMIN")" "$(df -h)"
+
