This is about my bot update and restart program. Written 26-2-2022.

How the program is supposed to work.

  1. Check for a difference between two files.
  2. If there is a difference, replace the current file. Else wait for the next time needed.
  3. Stop the bot.
  4. Start the bot.

Way found for file Diff. Added it, it works and everything else should be easy from here. Further updates will follow.

This project will be on hold on 24-3-2022. The reason for this is I will be trying to make a X11 window manager.

It works for the most part, It will find a difference, kill the bot and restart it. The problem is now make the program do the following on demand/

  1. stop the bot.
  2. restart the bot.
  3. pause the bot.
  4. resume the bot.
  5. kill the program.

I think I will use pipes for this and a secondary handler program. This handler program will take one argument. it will be one of the following. 1. stop 2. restart 3. pause 4. resume 5. kill

This is so I can use ssh to do this. And this project will most likely be done by the twenty-fourth.

I decided to scrap yesterday's idea do to the fact there is no point. I can stop and start the program from the terminal. As for testing the bot, I am going to make another discord bot app on there dev portal.
