This is Lord Droggenblut that I needed to move away from graphical IRC clients and
|
|
I needed something I could access whenever I was on the road from wherever I was because
|
|
I've in a few situations where they block IRC such as when I'm at school they like to block IRC
|
|
and I just find it very useful to be able to get there. So I went about setting up and IRSSI instance on
|
|
a VM I have running on my server at home but I came to the conclusion that for this to really be
|
|
useful for me I needed to be able to access it from anywhere hence where screen comes in but I
|
|
needed this to automatically restart anytime for some reason I had to reboot the server or the VM
|
|
itself and I wanted this to automatically start IRSSI inside of screen every time the machine came
|
|
back up so I did a little digging and I found an interesting and I think useful way to do it
|
|
logging in as the user who's going to be running this you simply open a terminal and you type
|
|
Krontab-e to edit your Krontab entry and we're going to add a simple little entry that's
|
|
ampersand reboot space slash user slash bin slash screen space dash lowercase d lowercase
|
|
uppercase u uppercase s another space then the word IRC space slash user slash bin slash IRSSI
|
|
and what this command does is it automatically start screen or actually it automatically starts IRSSI
|
|
inside of a screen session and the flags we gave it the dash dm capital U capital S
|
|
start screen and detach mode if the capital U runs screen in utf 8 mode and the dash capital S
|
|
gives the screen session a friendly name for reattaching when we use screen dash R so instead of
|
|
having to give it some bizarre number we just give it screen dash R space IRC and we've now reattached
|
|
to IRSSI instance well just a quick little tip for everyone out there you can use this for
|
|
starting other things automatically but i hope some people find this useful
