## Bashbot examples
### bashbot multi
An example wrapper to run multiple instances of bashbot, use ```./bashbot-multi.sh botname command```
### bashbot.cron
An example crontab is provided in ```examples/bashbot.cron```, see [Expert use](../doc/4_expert.md#Scedule-bashbot-from-Cron)
### Interactive chats
Two examples for interactive scripts are provided as **calc.sh** and **question.sh**, see [Advanced use](../doc/3_advanced.md#Interactive-Chats)
### Background scripts
Background jobs are an easy way to provide sceduled messages or alerts if something happens.
**notify.sh** is a simple example on how to send a message every x seonds, e.g. current time.
**background-scripts** contains a more useful example on how to start and stop different scripts plus some example background scripts.
```
mycommands.sh - /run_xxx and /kill-xxx will start any script named run_xxx.sh
run_diskusage.sh - shows disk usage every 100 seconds
run_filename.sh - shown the name of new files in a named dir
run_filecontent.sh - shown the content of new files in a named dir
run_notify.sh - same as notify.sh
```
**Note:** Output of system commands often contains newlines, each newline results in a telegram message, the function 'send_telegram' in
mycommands.sh avoids this by converting each newline to ' mynewlinestartshere ' before output the string.
### System Status
**send-system-status** contains an example for commands showing status of different subsystems. This example is adapted from
https://github.com/RG72/telegram-bot-bash to current bashbot commands, but not fully tested. This will show how easy you can
convert existing bots.
```
mycommands.sh - commands to show system status
botacl - controls who can show system status
*Available commands*:
/se *sensors*
/smb *smbstatus*
/free *memory status*
/md *raid status*
/lvm *lvm status*
/lvsd *Datailed lvm status*
/df *disk space*
/ifconfig *ifconfig output*
/smart *sda* _smart status for sda drive_
```
### External scripts
**external-use** will contain some examples on how to send messages from external scripts to Telegram chats or users.
