TurboIRC BOT Mode

TurboIRC has a special bot mode . This mode allows you to run TurboIRC without any screens , just in the background , so saves you memory and scripting is still available .

To launch BOT mode , start TurboIRC with -b as parameter . When you are in -b mode , these things are to be noticed :

• You have absolutely no input control . That means , that you must configure TurboIRC to autostart connection to a server , to auto join channels etc . You can't fire an alias by your own , unless you trigger it from an event , or a script is fired from an event . At startup , nothing is visible .
• TurboIRC won't check for updates , and no flash screen will appear ( same like -u )
• You must configure the DCC events so it will automatically rejected or accepted , in order not to be asked a question about . DCC windows are always created .
• Only main window is created , without toolbars rebars and no other windows are made .
• Mail is not checked , tip of the day is not displayed .
• There are no listboxes , views , statusbars , toolbars .
• There is no check for notifications from the notify list .
• There is no check for flood control .

To terminate the TurboIRC bot mode , you must do it locally by Ctrl+Alt+Del ( Windows 9x or Windows NT Task Manager ) . You can also trigger the shutdown with an event externally .

The bot mode currently is under developement , however I am working on making it as fast as I can and with less memory usage .
