Pisg

Pisq is a Pearl based IRC Statistics generator that allows you to create an index.html file in a directory of your choosing. Dreamhost does not allow you to run an IRC Bot on their servers. However you can retrieve logs from anywhere so long as it is accessible from the web. So you could run your own home server or you can use the services of a friend who can be on your IRC channel at all times and have them place logs online.

Running Pisg

First you will need to download Pisg from here and then extract it on your Desktop into a folder called "pisg" and then put it in your home directory.

Script

This script is under the impression that you are going to have a .log file that is split into dates and that it will run after 12AMPDST

Copy and then paste this into a document called run.sh and put it in your home directory

#!/bin/bash
