Calling one command from another


I want to do some kind of alias, for example, hubot status should call hubot newrelic me and hubot gauges for today.

I tried to do things like `msg.send "hubot newrelic me", but seems like hubot just ignore the message.

How can I do that?


Solution

  • You can make scripts talk one to another using events.

     robot.emit 'event', param
    
     robot.on 'event', (param) ->
       console.log 'received param', param
