Name: esotericbot Version: 0.0.6 License: BSD3 License-File: License Author: John Morrice Maintainer: John Morrice Stability: Experimental Category: Web Synopsis: Esotericbot is a sophisticated, lightweight IRC bot. Description: Esotericbot is a sophisticated, lightweight IRC bot, written in Haskell. . Esotericbot launches sub-processes to respond to commands issued by users over IRC. . Why would you use esotericbot? . For lambdabot-4.2.2.1: . spoon@utensil:~/esotericbot$ ps e v . PID TTY STAT TIME MAJFL TRS DRS RSS %MEM COMMAND . 23433 pts/3 Sl+ 0:00 0 8228 84855 33476 1.6 lambdabot . 15040 pts/5 S+ 0:00 0 2171 28804 3292 0.1 ./esotericbot . I'm not insinuating that lambdabot sucks in any way, ( lambdabot is most excellent ) however, my hope is that esotericbot could attain equal functionality through plugins, while maintaining its small memory footprint. . Esotericbot is small ( for Haskell :), designed to run on a server with limited memory - typically running at under 5mb of private memory. . Features: . * Advanced memory and time management options, utilizing POSIX resource management. . For example, the memory used by all child processes, can be limited - commands be queued until the memory usage has dropped. . * Privileged channel operator commands ( Currently, can be disabled and enabled by channel operators, to prevent abuse. ) . * Easy to add new plugins. A C library is included to make writing new plugins/adapting programs to be plugins easy. . * Set up through a configuration file. . * Multiple channels. . * Multi-threaded . * Lightweight, typically running at under 5mb of private memory. . Cons: . * POSIX memory management, process forking, and chroot means that Esotericbot is POSIX only. . * Esotericbot is, due to the libraries and extensions used, restricted to being compiled by the Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler. . . Note: esotericbot comes with several plugins which will be installed into your cabal-bin, and libraries installed into your cabal-lib. Check cabal-bin for 'brainfuck', 'unlambda' , 'malbolge', 'sk' and 'whirl'. These will need libplugin and libplugin++ from your cabal-lib to function correctly.
