= bender the IRC notification daemon =

"[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bender_%28Futurama%29 bender]" is a ​jsonbot written in Python.

"bender" is running on yser.mayfirst.org (the ​linksunten server) and controlled by runit.

"bender" can be restarted via

{{{
sv restart jsonbot
}}}

"bender's" config files can be found at `yser:/home/jsonbot/jsb-config`. The IRC configuration can be found at `yser:/home/jsonbot/doc/bender-rss-config.txt`.

This is bender's current config related to MF/PL:

It's also worth paying attention to jojobe:/var/www/nagios/all.xml.  On occasion this file fails to populate, making it seem as if bender is failing to provide notifications.
