start-blamehangle

#!/bin/sh
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# A simple shell script to start the bot and make sure it keeps running
# in case of a crash (which we hope never happens!)
#
# To start the bot, just run this script specifying your config file on
# the command line
#
# If you wish to shut the bot down, you must create a file called
#    STOP.<config file name without the .conf>
#
# For example, if your config file was called "mybot.conf", you would start
# the bot with the command:
#             ./start-blamehangle mybot.conf
# and to shut the bot down you would create the stop file:
#             touch STOP.mybot
# in the bot's directory, and then ^C in the bot's pty or send it a SIGTERM
# to tell it to shutdown.
#
# Note, to restart the bot you will need to delete the STOP.mybot file.
