Autumn Leaves Leaf #1: Announcer

This bot is perfect for anything where you need to easily build IRC channel notifications into an existing process. It’s simple, clean, and agnostic. Quite simply you connect to a TCP port, give it one line, the port closes, the line given shows up in the channel. eg: echo ‘hello’ | nc -q 1 bothost 22122

require 'socket'
require 'thread'

class Announcer < AutumnLeaf

        def handle_incoming(sock)
                Thread.new {
                line = sock.gets
                message line
                sock.close
                }
        end

        def did_start_up
                Thread.new {
                        listener = TCPServer.new('',22122)
                        while (new_socket = listener.accept)
                                handle_incoming(new_socket)
                        end
                }
        end

end
