Looking for an irc client for logging purpose. reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PinkyHurtsFromEmacs · 2016-12-12 14:44 So, I am looking for a client that is able to log a chat to an file I want to store each day to a file and each day sorted in weeks and those sorted in years a bit like this http://i.imgur.com/3zjIStN.png and if it disconnects it tries to reconnect without giving up does someone know a client that does this. I want to run this from a rpi so I can log day/night ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MuffinMedic · 2016-12-12 15:38 You should look into [ZNC](http://wiki.znc.in) for 24/7 logging. It logs as user/network/channel/YYYY-mm-dd.log. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 500Rads · 2016-12-12 15:53 Buy a cheep reliable linux server run rmux or screens with irssi ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PinkyHurtsFromEmacs · 2016-12-12 16:09 I think this would be best, yea. still looking to find a client that has options to log like this as I am not a crazy hacker to write my own. thanks for the suggestion! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- notoriousOIT · 2016-12-12 19:03 Plus 1 for this set up. Irssi is so easy to configure for logging too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PinkyHurtsFromEmacs · 2016-12-12 23:29 easy to configure you say. I'll read into irssi for logging thank you ---------------------------------------------------------------------- notoriousOIT · 2016-12-13 00:13 Out of the box, just set auto log to ON and yours golden ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1percentof1 · 2016-12-13 01:30 BitchX is the best client ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PinkyHurtsFromEmacs · 2016-12-13 02:05 I havent used irssi like ever but looking at documenting it looks pretty nice and able to do what I want. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- notoriousOIT · 2016-12-13 02:10 Join the master race! Irssi is the end all irc client. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nath_ · 2016-12-13 11:03 Is there any reason you can't use ZNC? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PinkyHurtsFromEmacs · 2016-12-15 12:45 Not really. I am going to use ZNC as I hadn't thought about that at that time. I now also see how unclear I was in that comment, what I meant was more something like that I am going to use znc but want a client at the side logging that way. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PinkyHurtsFromEmacs · 2016-12-15 12:52 Irssi is cool but erc is cooler. sorry :p ---------------------------------------------------------------------- notoriousOIT · 2016-12-15 19:07 Erc huh? Actually never heard of it. I'll give it a look. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PinkyHurtsFromEmacs · 2016-12-15 23:26 It's one of the 2 build in IRC clients of emacs. if you like emacs M-x erc right now if you dont like emacs just go back to your irssi
