mm stands for Mu*Me
mm is the muck/mush/mud/Mu* equivalent of ii, the FIFO and filesystem based irc client.
It relies on a fairly recent version of Twisted and Python 2.7. Because of it's reliance on Twisted it does not work with Python 3
When run it creates the ~/muck directory and a subdirectory based on the name of the connection specified on the command line
In this directory it creates an out file which has the output, and a FIFO in
write to in, get muck from out.
when you disconnect the program quits and rotates out to a timestamped log. You can disable this with --nolog
- I wrote an vim plugin called mm.vim that uses vim as the inut system. Check it out for more vim tips and usage.
- Use screen or tmux to split your screen and then multitail to read out with all the coloring you need.
- simple shell or perl scripts can be used to read from out and automate tasks
- A simple shell script wrapper could set up your env and auto log you in
- in fact, most all tips and tricks for ii will work for mm including now to handle multiple sessions with one screen, ect
