A simple IRC Logger-bot in Bash

The script :

## Bot.sh - begin

#!/bin/bash
config=/tmp/ircbot

echo NICK ircbot > $config
echo USER username +iw ircbot :$0 >> $config
echo JOIN #orkut_linux >> $config

tail -f $config | telnet irc.freenode.net 6667 | while true
do read MESSAGE || break
echo $MESSAGE >> irclog.txt
done

rm $config

## EOF

Make Bot.sh executable:

chmod +x Bot.sh

Now all that's left is to run it.
Enjoy!
