Hello,

How to post a IM message on a IRC channel with BASH / Perl or Python code ?

I need a little code to post a message on e.g. #whatever at irc.libera.chat, with crontab.

Any idea of a little bash code?

Kind regards,
x.

The CPAN page for Bot::Basic has a short demo doing just that. It could be modified for your needs easily, I expect.

But if you need something more complex than just posting, POE::Component::IRC may be the way to go though it is much more complex.

Most channels default to +n which means you have to join the channel to post a message too.
