So, I need a fairly specific IRC client. Here are the absolute, non-negotiable requirements:
- Must run on Linux (I don't have access to the system)
- Must be commandline only (I don't have X)
- Must support good logging (I absolutely need both date and time, preferably all in one file)
Other things that would be nice:
- Multiple channels (I assume they all do this)
- Multiple servers (preferably logged to different files)
- Configured through a file (servers, channels, log files, etc)
Does anybody know of a client that matches that? irssi is the one I'm using right now, but it doesn't have a date in its logs so it's useless. I haven't tried BitchX (it's hard to talk about in an office
), so I'm wondering if it supports what I need.
I'm also willing to write this myself if there are no good options. That's not a huge problem. But I don't want to waste my time if there's another option.
