The Bots standard commands are in the commands dispatcher commands.sh
, Do not edit this file! Add your commands and functions to mycommands.sh
. In 'mycommands.sh.dist' you find examples how to add own commands and overwrite existing ones. See Best practices for more information.
Once you're done with editing start the Bot with ./bashbot.sh start
. To stop the Bot run ./bashbot.sh kill
If something doesn't work as expected, debug with ./bashbot.sh startbot DEBUG &
, where DEBUG can be 'debug', 'xdebug' or 'xdebugx'.
See Bashbot Development for more information.
To use the functions provided in this script in other scripts simply source bashbot: source bashbot.sh source
. see Expert Use

Usage of bashbot functions
sending messages
To send messages use the send_xxx_message
functions.
To send regular text without any markdown use:
send_text_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "lol"
To send text with markdown:
send_markdown_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "lol *bold*"
To send text with html:
send_html_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "lol <b>bold</b>"
To forward messages use the forward
function:
forward "${CHAT[ID]}" "from_chat_id" "message_id"
If your Bot is Admin in a Chat you can delete every message, if not you can delete only your messages. To delete a message with a known ${MESSAGE[ID]} you can simple use:
delete_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "${MESSAGE[ID]}"
send_message
In addition there is a universal send_massage function which can output any type of message.
This function is used to process output from external scrips like interactive chats or background jobs.
For safety and performance reasons I recommend to use send_xxxx_message functions above for sending messages
send_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "lol"
To send html or markdown put the following strings before the text, depending on the parsing mode you want to enable:
send_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "markdown_parse_mode lol *bold*"
send_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "html_parse_mode lol <b>bold</b>"
This function also allows a third parameter that disables additional function parsing (for safety use this when reprinting user input):
send_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "lol" "safe"
See also Interactive chats
Send files, locations, keyboards.
To send images, videos, voice files, photos etc. use the send_photo
function (remember to change the safety Regex @ line 14 of command.sh to allow sending files only from certain directories):
send_file "${CHAT[ID]}" "/home/user/doge.jpg" "Lool"
To send custom keyboards use the send_keyboard
function:
send_keyboard "${CHAT[ID]}" "Text that will appear in chat?" '[ "Yep" , "No" ]' # note the simgle quotes!
send_keyboard "${CHAT[ID]}" "Text that will appear in chat?" "[ \\"Yep\\" , \\"No\\" ]" # within double quotes you must excape the inside double quots
To send locations use the send_location
function:
send_location "${CHAT[ID]}" "Latitude" "Longitude"
To send venues use the send_venue
function:
send_venue "${CHAT[ID]}" "Latitude" "Longitude" "Title" "Address" "optional foursquare id"
To send a chat action use the send_action
function.
Allowed values: typing for text messages, upload_photo for photos, record_video or upload_video for videos, record_audio or upload_audio for audio files, upload_document for general files, find_location for locations.
send_action "${CHAT[ID]}" "action"
