Irssi
From Hackepedia
Jump to navigationJump to searchirssi is a popular ncurses based IRC client.
When in irssi, two commands to get you started are:
/help
and
/set
and if you see an option in /set you'd like to modify:
/set autolog [log] autolog = OFF /set autolog on [log] autolog = ON /save
I've now set autolog on and saved my changes. You should be able to find these changes in ~/.irssi/config unless the default path for your configuration has changed.
Freenode
Edit ~/.irssi/config and under servers, add:
{ address = "irc.freenode.org"; port = "6667"; chatnet = "freenode"; autoconnect = "no"; },
and under chatnets:
freenode = { type = "IRC"; autosendcmd = "/msg nickserv identify $PASSWORD; wait 2000; },
