Scoots is a very simple and lightweight IRC link information bot written in Ruby that runs as a *nix daemon.
This bot is still in development. Scoots requires a host of gems to function properly- all are listed in the scoots.rb file. These will be slimmed in the future.
For Lincense information view the LICENSE file.
You can use Scoots on your own IRC server or in your own IRC channel on another server. Scoots is designed to run as a daemon in the background. Errors will be logged inside the logs folder.
Edit the settings.yml file to set your bot, server, and channel information. Then run the init script;
ruby init.rb start
Scoots operates as a daemon, and as such, can be controlled using standard start/stop/restart commands. Even as a daemon Scoots will store all log information inside the Scoots directory.
