Darkbot

Darkbot installation and configuration help for l'Unix

The mirrored Unix help covers the original flow: unpack the archive, run the setup process, build the bot and edit the offline data files before starting it in a live channel.

The important files stay the same on imhko.com: setup.ini, servers.ini, perform.ini, deop.ini and userlist.db.

Darkbot installation and configuration help for Windows

The Windows copy mirrors the original install and setup notes without pushing the user off-site. It keeps the same basic sequence: install, configure, connect and verify.

Darkbot Commands

The original command listing is grouped into the same main sections as the SourceForge page: administration, database management, channel operation, status and information, user access and utilities.

The mirrored version keeps that structure on imhko.com so the command reference remains available even if the old project pages are unavailable.

Latest darkbot8rc5 Commands

The current fork adds public DuckDuckGo URL results, configurable short URLs, decoded weather, TAF, word of the day, quote/profquote aliases, backup helpers and cleaner public help output.

The mirror also includes restored deop responses, fixed runtime paths and download links for the current source, runtime data, scripts and mirrored database packs.

Command Character Info

This is the read-only status command that tells users which prefix the bot currently expects. On the original help page it is used to confirm whether the bot responds to ! or another configured prefix.

It is a simple sanity check, not an operator control. The mirrored copy keeps it on-site so the command reference stays available even if the source site disappears.

Code Status

This entry reflects the compiled source state. The SourceForge help describes it as information about the code file, the line count and when the build was produced.

For the current fork, the card points back to the mirrored 8rc5 line and the local build notes on imhko.com.

Database Status

This status command reports the bot's version line, database size, session uptime and the activity counters for questions, additions and deletions.

It is one of the main read-only commands in the original status group, so it belongs in the on-site backup with the rest of the command reference.

Joins Status

This command tracks how many joins the bot has witnessed during the current session. It is a simple channel activity counter.

Language Info

The SourceForge status section groups language-related output with the rest of the read-only status commands. In practice it tells users which language handling the bot uses for its replies and status text.

Memory Status

Memory reporting belongs to the same status page as the other diagnostics. It is used to show how the bot is doing in the running environment without changing state.

Operating System

This is the OS readout people usually look for first. The original help page uses it to show the platform string the bot is running on, so operators can tell whether they are dealing with a Unix or Windows build.

That is the card you asked for: a short preview up front, then the full status explanation underneath on the same page.

Permbans Info

This command reports the permanent-ban state tracked by the bot. It is part of the status group on the original reference page and is kept here as mirrored text.

Queue Status

This output tells you whether the bot queue has pending work. It is a read-only diagnostic and does not modify the bot or its data files.

RAM Status

RAM reporting gives a simple view of the bot's memory situation. The mirrored copy keeps it grouped with the other status commands from the SourceForge docs.

Rundstuff

This is part of the original status set and is treated as a read-only internal check. The point of the backup is to keep the command list available even when the upstream pages are unavailable.

Server Status

This is the server/location readout used by the original docs to show where the bot is connected. It is the practical version of the "where is the bot right now" question.

Uptime Status

This shows how long the bot has been running in the current session. It sits alongside the other information commands and does not affect configuration.
