jarvis

An IRC bot written in Erlang

This isn't what one would exactly call "polished" yet, so for now, this is how to use jarvis:

1. Change into whatever user is going to run the bot
2. Place yourself in that users homedir
3. mkdir .jarvis.d
4. cd .jarvis.d
5. Create a file named host, the contents of which should be {host, "an IRC server address here"}., e.g. {host, "irc.freenode.net"}.
6. Create a file named channels, with contents {channels, ["channel1", "channel2", "..."]}. i.e. enumerate the channels jarvis should connect to. NOTE: there should NOT be a hashmark in front of the channel name
7. Create a file named nick, with contents {nick, "the nick you want your bot to have"}.
8. Start an erl shell (I'd recommend doing it inside a screen/tmux session): screen -S bot erl
9. Compile jarvis (c(jarvis).)
10. Start jarvis (jarvis:start().)
