LIMNORIA-BOTCHK(1)

💖 LIMNORIA-BOTCHK 💖

okay bestie, so this is a General Commands Manual page — a limnoria-botchk situation, fr fr. Sit down, grab a boba, we're gonna talk about a lil script that keeps your bot alive. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

limnoria-botchk — a script to start Limnoria if it's not already running. literally that's the whole job. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

limnoria-botchk [options]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so limnoria-botchk is that girl 💅 — she's a script that will start Limnoria if she detects that one is not currently running. iconic behaviour honestly.

this is highkey useful for scheduling limnoria(1) to run via cron(8). like, let cron handle the timing, let botchk handle the "is she up or not" vibe check. main character teamwork. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, --help — show a summary of options. the classic "help me help you" moment.
• -v, --verbose — use verbose output when running the script. she'll narrate everything, and honestly? we love a chatty queen. 🗣️
• --botdir=BOTDIR — determines which directory the bot be started in. (yes, that's the original phrasing, and yes, it's a whole mood. ✨)
• --pidfile=PIDFILE — specifies the name of the pidfile to look for. heads up though: this should be relative to the given botdir. 🍓
• --limnoria=LIMNORIA — specifies the location of limnoria(1). if this is not given, it is assumed that limnoria(1) is in the user's $PATH. so if you skip it, she goes looking. 🔍
• --conffile=CONFFILE — specifies the path to the bot's configuration file. this will be used when (re)starting the bot. 🧚
