Supybot init script for Debian.

Sunday, April 17th, 2005

Supybot is a neat little IRC bot written in Python. I had been looking for a bot to do some logging of my favorite IRC channel (#nblug on irc.nblug.org). The setup was pretty easy and the documentation is nice, but the one thing I didn’t find was an init script, so I modified one from an existing blootbot init script.

#! /bin/sh # # supybot init script # # # Cobbled together from the blootbot init script. #


PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

DAEMON=/usr/bin/supybot

NAME=supybot

DESC=supybot
test -f $DAEMON || exit 0
set -e
case "$1" in

  start)

        echo -n "Starting $DESC: "

        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/supybot/$NAME.pid \

                --chuid supybot --exec $DAEMON -- --daemon /etc/supybot/nibler.conf

        echo "$NAME."

        ;;

  stop)

        echo -n "Stopping $DESC: "

        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/supybot/$NAME.pid \

                --oknodo --exec /usr/bin/python

        echo "$NAME."

        ;;

  restart)

        $0 stop

        $0 start

        ;;

  *)

        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}" >&2

        exit 1

        ;;
