Super simple, first time ever, script
August 30, 2022
A very simple script. This is good for a 'first script'. Keep it simple - easier to get the hang of installing and using scripts.
However, this script isn't a do-nothing script! :) It is actually useful. I install it on every bot I create, first thing.
This script creates a partyline command : .date It simply returns the current date and time, same as if you executed the date command on the linux command line in a shell.
Usage: On the partyline, simply type: .date Bot will return the date and time.
I find it very handy at times, when working in the partyline. Especially when editing/debugging a script that contains bind cron . I'll want to know when to expect it to trigger, and can quickly get that info.
Feel free to install and use this script. If you do, I suggest you install it as-is, first. No edits. Reason: Get it installed and working correctly, first. THEN you can hack it up and do what you want with it. :) Suggestion: Add to it. Make yet another command, so that it responds to a public command in a channel, and/or to a /msg to the bot. It's good practice! :)
