info

Bashbot Example - Get Info

In this example, a bash script is executed to return information about the environment Bashbot is running in, and the channel/user name/id from which it was executed.

Bashbot configuration

This command is triggered by sending bashbot info in a slack channel where Bashbot is also a member. The script is expected to exist before execution at the relative path ./examples/version/get-info.sh and requires no additional input to execute. It takes no arguments/parameters and returns stdout as a slack message, in the channel it was executed from.

Bashbot script

Every Bashbot command, executed in slack, sets five environment variables describing "where," "when," and "who" executed the Bashbot command itself. The get-info.sh script prints these environment variables and some other basic information about the host Bashbot is running from.
