SYNOPSIS

       supybot [options] configFile

DESCRIPTION

       Supybot  is a robust, user-friendly, and programmer-friendly Python IRC
       bot.  It aims to be an adequate replacement for most existing IRC bots.
       It  includes  a  very  flexible and powerful ACL system for controlling
       access to commands, as well as more than 50 builtin  plugins  providing
       around 400 actual commands.

OPTIONS

       --version
              Show version of program.

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

       -P, --profile
              Enable profiling.

       -n NICK, --nick=NICK
              Nick the bot should use.

       -u USER, --user=USER
              Full username the bot should use.

       -i IDENT, --ident=IDENT
              Ident the bot should use.

       -d, --daemon
              Determines  whether  the bot will daemonize.  This is a no-op on
              non-POSIX systems.

       --allow-default-owner
              Determines whether the bot will  allow  its  defaultCapabilities
              not  to  include "-owner", thus giving all users the owner capa-
              bility by default.  This is dumb, hence we  require  a  command-
              line option to enable it.

       --allow-root
              Determines  whether the bot will be allowed to run as root.  You
              do not want this.  Do not do it.  Even if you think you want it,
              you do not.

       --debug
              Determines  whether some extra debugging stuff will be logged by
              this script.
