Welcome to the homepage of the BotCommander.
You can access the project's page on savannah at
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/botcommander/.
BotCommander is a small tool, originally written for the Gnome2 interface, to remotely manage your
eggdrop IRC bots.
Actually, it's acting as a small, configurable telnet client, but it will know a bit more. For example, it will have command-line history. While you cannot recall your previous command in a simple telnet client, you will be able to do it with this program. As it uses a GTK-Entry for the command line, you can also edit that command.
The program uses gconf2 to store it's configuration data. You can configure it (see
Documentation to see how) to use a samba-like config file instead, so you won't depend that heavily on gnome2. In the near future I plan xml config backend support.
The main widget of the program is a vte-terminal, which (as I know), is also the part of the GTK2 project. (If you know something else, please let me know)
The code is in alpha status. You can see how will it look like, also can use for one connection, and decide if you will like it or not.
Please come back recently, and read the
News.
CVS version can be buggy, but if you are interested in the current status of this app, download the complete tree. The latest working version is 0.2,
download it!
Suggestions, bugs and such can be submitted on the
project page.
BotCommander icon is from Eggdrop's official homepage. I will draw a new one, but until then, this is perfect.
Best regards: Gergely POLONKAI, the developer of BotCommander.
