<h3 id="handling-utf-8-character-sets">Handling UTF-8 character sets</h3>
<p>UTF-8 is a variable length encoding of Unicode. UTF-8 is recommended as the default encoding in JSON, XML and HTML, also Telegram make use of it.</p>
<p>The first 128 characters are regular ASCII, so its a superset of and compatible with ASCII environments. The next 1,920 characters need two bytes for encoding and covers almost all <code>Latin</code> alphabets, also <code>Greek</code>, <code>Cyrillic</code>, <code>Hebrew</code>, <code>Arabic</code> and more. See <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8">Wikipedia</a> for more details.</p>
<h4 id="setting-up-your-environment">Setting up your Environment</h4>
<p>In general <code>bash</code> and <code>GNU</code> utitities are UTF-8 aware if you to setup your environment and your scripts accordingly:</p>
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li><p>Your Terminal and Editor must support UTF-8: Set Terminal and Editor locale to UTF-8, eg. in <code>Settings/Configuration</code> select UTF-8 (Unicode) as Charset.</p></li>
<li><p>Set <code>Shell</code> environment to UTF-8 in your <code>.profile</code> and your scripts. The usual settings are:</p></li>
</ol>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span class="bu">export</span> <span class="st">&#39;LC_ALL=C.UTF-8&#39;</span>
<span class="bu">export</span> <span class="st">&#39;LANG=C.UTF-8&#39;</span>
<span class="bu">export</span> <span class="st">&#39;LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8&#39;</span></code></pre></div>
<p>If you use other languages, eg. german or US english, change the shell settings to:</p>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span class="bu">export</span> <span class="st">&#39;LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8&#39;</span>
<span class="bu">export</span> <span class="st">&#39;LANG=de_DE.UTF-8&#39;</span>
<span class="bu">export</span> <span class="st">&#39;LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8&#39;</span></code></pre></div>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span class="bu">export</span> <span class="st">&#39;LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8&#39;</span>
<span class="bu">export</span> <span class="st">&#39;LANG=de_en_US.UTF-8&#39;</span>
<span class="bu">export</span> <span class="st">&#39;LANGUAGE=den_US.UTF-8&#39;</span></code></pre></div>
<ol start="3" style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li>make shure your bot scripts use the correct settings, eg. include the lines above at the beginning of your scripts</li>
</ol>
<p>To display all availible locales on your system run <code>locale -a | more</code>. <a href="https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/UTF-8">Gentoo Wiki</a></p>
<h4 id="bashbot-utf-8-support">Bashbot UTF-8 Support</h4>
<p>Bashbot handles all messages transparently, regardless of the charset in use. The only exception is when converting from JSON data to strings.</p>
<p>Telegram use JSON to send / recieve data. JSON encodes strings as follow: Characters not ASCII <em>(&gt;127)</em> are escaped as sequences of <code>\uxxxx</code> to be regular ASCII. In addition multibyte characters, <em>e.g. Emoticons or Arabic characters</em>, are send in double byte UTF-16 notation. The Emoticons <code>😁 😘 ❤️ 😊 👍</code> are encoded as: <code>\uD83D\uDE01 \uD83D\uDE18 \u2764\uFE0F \uD83D\uDE0A \uD83D\uDC4D</code></p>
<p><strong>This “mixed” JSON encoding needs special handling and can not decoded from</strong> <code>echo -e</code> or <code>printf '%s\\n'</code></p>
<p>Most complete support for decoding of multibyte characters can only be provided if python is installed on your system. <strong>Without phyton bashbot falls back to an internal, pure bash implementation which may not work for some corner cases</strong>.</p>
<h3 id="run-as-other-user-or-system-service">Run as other user or system service</h3>
<p>Bashbot is desingned to run manually by the user who installed it. Nevertheless its possible to run it by an other user-ID, as a system service or sceduled from cron. This is onyl recommended for experiend linux users.</p>
<p>Setup the environment for the user you want to run bashbot and enter desired username, e.g. nobody :</p>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span class="fu">sudo</span> ./bashbot.sh init</code></pre></div>
<p>Edit the file <code>bashbot.rc</code> and edit the following lines to fit your configuration:</p>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span class="co">#######################</span>
<span class="co"># Configuration Section</span>
<span class="co"># edit the next line to fit the user you want to run bashbot, e.g. nobody:</span>
<span class="va">runas=</span><span class="st">&quot;nobody&quot;</span>
<span class="co"># uncomment one of the following lines </span>
<span class="co"># runcmd=&quot;su $runas -s /bin/bash -c &quot; # runasuser with su</span>
<span class="co"># runcmd=&quot;runuser $runas -s /bin/bash -c &quot; # runasuser with runuser</span>
<span class="co"># edit the values of the following lines to fit your config:</span>
<span class="va">start=</span><span class="st">&quot;/usr/local/telegram-bot-bash/bashbot.sh&quot;</span> <span class="co"># location of your bashbot.sh script</span>
<span class="va">name=</span><span class="st">&#39;&#39;</span> # <span class="ex">your</span> bot name as given to botfather, e.g. mysomething_bot
<span class="co"># </span><span class="re">END</span><span class="co"> Configuration</span>
<span class="co">#######################</span></code></pre></div>
<p>From now on use bashbot.rc to manage your bot:</p>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span class="fu">sudo</span> ./bashbot.rc start</code></pre></div>
<p>Type <code>ps -ef | grep bashbot</code> to verify your Bot is running as the desired user.</p>
<p>If your Bot is started by bashbot.rc, you must use bashbot.rc also to manage your Bot! The following commands are availible:</p>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span class="fu">sudo</span> ./bashbot.rc start
<span class="fu">sudo</span> ./bashbot.rc stop
<span class="fu">sudo</span> ./bashbot.rc status
<span class="fu">sudo</span> ./bashbot.rc suspendback
<span class="fu">sudo</span> ./bashbot.rc resumeback
<span class="fu">sudo</span> ./bashbot.rc killback</code></pre></div>
<p>To change back the environment to your user-ID run <code>sudo ./bashbot.sh init</code> again and enter your user name.</p>
<p>To use bashbot as a system servive include a working <code>bashbot.rc</code> in your init system (systemd, /etc/init.d).</p>
<h3 id="scedule-bashbot-from-cron">Scedule bashbot from Cron</h3>
<p>An example crontab is provided in <code>examples/bashbot.cron</code>.</p>
<ul>
<li>If you are running bashbot with your user-ID, copy the examples lines to your crontab and remove username <code>nobody</code>.</li>
<li>if you run bashbot as an other user or a system service edit <code>examples/bashbot.cron</code> to fit your needs and replace username<code>nobody</code> with the username you want to run bashbot. copy the modified file to <code>/etc/cron.d/bashbot</code></li>
</ul>
