Now you need to run you're bot somewhere. I run my bots on a linux box in may basement. If you're looking to do this with Windows ... ''go away kid kid you're bothering me'' ...

			I created [[post-group-me.bash\|this script]] to make using bots as easy as possible. You can set it up in cron or trigger it on some sort of external event.

			You simply pass it the message you want to send in quotes along with the bot id:
			./post-group-me.bash "Hello, World!" 12345671234567

			you can easily call this from a cron job like this:
