Allow the bot to be run as deamon #45

Closed webpigeon closed 8 years ago

Allow the bot to run as a Linux deamon, this will allow the bot to be controlled on a Linux server more easily (ie. kat).

This will probably help...

A systemd service is comparably easy to write, but to work correctly on Linux, it would be better if we could store the configuration and variable data in the correct places (share, etc, var). This will require that the owner is capable of specifying the configuration file as a command line argument.

The best way to load the database file location is from the configuration file, as this will avoid having to care too much about the command line processing.

This can also be closed (BotRunnable allows the bot to be used using jsvc or java -jar)
