NAME
supybot - A robust and user friendly Python IRC bot
SYNOPSIS
supybot [options] configFile
DESCRIPTION
Supybot is a robust, user-friendly, and programmer-friendly Python IRC
bot. It aims to be an adequate replacement for most existing IRC bots.
It includes a very flexible and powerful ACL system for controlling
access to commands, as well as more than 50 builtin plugins providing
around 400 actual commands.
OPTIONS
--version
Show version of program.
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
-P, --profile
Enable profiling.
-n NICK, --nick=NICK
Nick the bot should use.
-u USER, --user=USER
Full username the bot should use.
-i IDENT, --ident=IDENT
Ident the bot should use.
-d, --daemon
Determines whether the bot will daemonize. This is a no-op on
non-POSIX systems.
--allow-default-owner
Determines whether the bot will allow its defaultCapabilities
not to include "-owner", thus giving all users the owner
capability by default. This is dumb, hence we require a
command-line option to enable it.
--allow-root
Determines whether the bot will be allowed to run as root. You
do not want this. Do not do it. Even if you think you want it,
you do not.
--debug
Determines whether some extra debugging stuff will be logged by
this script.
