Owner

Purpose

Provides commands useful to the owner of the bot; the commands here require their caller to have the ‘owner’ capability. This plugin is loaded by default.

Usage

Owner-only commands for core Supybot. This is a core Supybot module that should not be removed!

Commands

announce <text>

Sends <text> to all channels the bot is currently on and not lobotomized in.

defaultcapability {add|remove} <capability>

Adds or removes (according to the first argument) <capability> from the default capabilities given to users (the configuration variable supybot.capabilities stores these).

defaultplugin [--remove] <command> [<plugin>]

Sets the default plugin for <command> to <plugin>. If –remove is given, removes the current default plugin for <command>. If no plugin is given, returns the current default plugin set for <command>. See also, supybot.commands.defaultPlugins.importantPlugins.

disable [<plugin>] <command>

Disables the command <command> for all users (including the owners). If <plugin> is given, only disables the <command> from <plugin>. If you want to disable a command for most users but not for yourself, set a default capability of -plugin.command or -command (if you want to disable the command in all plugins).

enable [<plugin>] <command>

Enables the command <command> for all users. If <plugin> if given, only enables the <command> from <plugin>. This command is the inverse of disable.

flush takes no arguments

Runs all the periodic flushers in world.flushers. This includes flushing all logs and all configuration changes to disk.

ircquote <string to be sent to the server>

Sends the raw string given to the server.

load [--deprecated] <plugin>

Loads the plugin <plugin> from any of the directories in conf.supybot.directories.plugins; usually this includes the main installed directory and ‘plugins’ in the current directory. –deprecated is necessary if you wish to load deprecated plugins.

logmark <text>

Logs <text> to the global Supybot log at critical priority. Useful for marking logfiles for later searching.

quit [<text>]

Exits the bot with the QUIT message <text>. If <text> is not given, the default quit message (supybot.plugins.Owner.quitMsg) will be used. If there is no default quitMsg set, your nick will be used. The standard substitutions ($version, $nick, etc.) are all handled appropriately.

reload <plugin>

Unloads and subsequently reloads the plugin by name; use the ‘list’ command to see a list of the currently loaded plugins.

reloadlocale takes no argument

Reloads the locale of the bot.

rename <plugin> <command> <new name>

Renames <command> in <plugin> to the <new name>.

unload <plugin>

Unloads the callback by name; use the ‘list’ command to see a list of the currently loaded plugins. Obviously, the Owner plugin can’t be unloaded.

unrename <plugin>

Removes all renames in <plugin>. The plugin will be reloaded after this command is run.

upkeep [<level>]

Runs the standard upkeep stuff (flushes and gc.collects()). If given a level, runs that level of upkeep (currently, the only supported level is “high”, which causes the bot to flush a lot of caches as well as do normal upkeep stuff).

Configuration

supybot.plugins.Owner.announceFormat

This config variable defaults to “Announcement from my owner ($owner): $text”, is not network-specific, and is not channel-specific.

Determines the format of messages sent by the ‘announce’ command. $owner may be used for the username of the owner calling this command, and $text for the announcement being made.

supybot.plugins.Owner.public

This config variable defaults to “True”, is not network-specific, and is not channel-specific.

Determines whether this plugin is publicly visible.

supybot.plugins.Owner.quitMsg

This config variable defaults to “Limnoria $version”, is not network-specific, and is not channel-specific.

Determines what quit message will be used by default. If the quit command is called without a quit message, this will be used. If this value is empty, the nick of the person giving the quit command will be used. The standard substitutions ($version, $nick, etc.) are all handled appropriately.
