# MM Shell bot
POSIX sh script that works with [mm](https://git.lost.host/meutraa/mm) to allow executables to be run directly from Matrix. Makes command based bots extremely easy to create.
Change the config in the script, put any executable in bin, and run main.sh.
***Do not store your password in plaintext in this script! Ensure that no code execution is possible by exposing executables like `bash` or `python`!***
### Example usage
- `\ping -c1 1.1.1.1`
- The script will check $CMDDIR for any executables named `ping`, then execute it with arguments like so:
- `ping -c1 1.1.1.1`
- STDOUT and STDERR are redirected to Matrix when the command finishes executing
- $TIMEOUT in the config is used to determine maximum run time of the executables
### Environment variables
Some environment variables are available to the executables, to provide extra context for custom scripts and executables.
These variables are:
- `ADMIN`: The bot owner, to provide administrative functionality if required
- `FILE`: The absolute file path to the event
- `MESSAGE`: The content of the message
- `ROOMID`: The room ID
- `SENDER`: The event sender
- `INFILE`: The file that will output directly to the matrix room
