Yes! You can do that. Basically, you can write a new bot that connects to the IRC server and sends a private message to your existing bot. Your existing bot will need to listen to messages that are not from a specific channel. All this information is in the $Message
object. You can pass in custom data to your bot on the command-line by the -State
switch that places that object in the $Bot.State
object. This object can be anything, such as the message you want the bot to send and the username of the other bot you wish to send to (you can use a hash). You can wrap this bot up in a custom script too, and inline your actual bot script with the -BotScript
argument. You can get as fancy as you want!
Here's another option.... you can have your bot join another channel that you monitor, for instance by sending /join #devchannel
You can send your bot instructions through this channel or private message channel. I've done that for development.
Hi :)
Is it possible to send text to the bot from an external script?
e.g. ./mybot.ps1 -text "my fancy text" -channel "mychannel" The Bot will then post "my fancy text" on "mychannel"
Could be usefull as an rss-reader or something like that
