Message after installing

To configure irccat:

Modify the default config file in /usr/local/etc/irccat/irccat.yaml as required, setting
at least IRC server, nick, and any required channels.

See https://github.com/irccloud/irccat for full documentation.

To run irccat as a daemon, enable it in /etc/rc.conf:

	service irccat enable
	service irccat start

By default irccat runs as user/group "uucp". Override with
irccat_user / irccat_group in /etc/rc.conf if you want a
different account.

Test that messages reach IRC:

echo "#yourchannel Hello from irccat" | nc localhost 12345
