Ur... I'd love to set the channel on irssi autojoin but I can't... "Too many connections from your IP address".

Uh. So only a limited amount of connections there can be done from the shell?

EDIT:
Oh, also, I suck at all this Linux stuff :E

So, uh, I'm allowed to leave irssi running? If yes, how should I exit PuTTY to leave it alone? :/

I'm not sure if you can leave irssi running or not since I'm new here, but to do so you would run irssi in screen like this:

Code: Select all

$ screen irssi

and to exit irssi press ctrl a+d (press ctrl-a and then press d without releasing ctrl)

edit: oh and to get it back type:

Code: Select all

$ screen -r

You will probably need to bind to another ip, there are a few available and I can add more when needed.

To do this you use the -h parameter when starting irssi (irssi --help for more info)

To view the available IP addresses, type "ip addr list" in the shell without the quotes.
