Configue sircbot
vi /etc/conf.d/sircbot

Sircbot will use an folder for the channel where is logged in. Lets say we will use it at the "test" channel. The folder path is: /etc/sircbot.d/#channel
Example
Lets see an example:
Our bot will be named kumquat and we will join at the #test channel in the irc.ddd.ddd server.
vi /etc/conf.d/sircbot
Change name, server and channel
sircbot_opts="-n kumquat -s irc.ddd.ddd" sircbot_channels="#test"
Create folder bot.
mkdir /etc/sircbot.d/#test -p
Create the lua scrip file for our bot.
vi /etc/sircbot.d/#test/commands
