User:TedderBot/Bot status
Appearance
status: run
Instructions
[edit]If "status: run" is removed or "run" is changed to something else, like "status: stopped", the bot will see that and stop execution. Please don't change it without leaving a detailed message at User talk:Tedder to indicate what the problem is.
Specifications
[edit]The bot, written in perl, uses the following regex to look for the status.
$ret->{'*'} =~ m#^status: run\b#i
It is case-insensitive, but picky that the word and spacing be correct. This means it should "fail dead", not "fail alive".
