 As a result of my recentish code cleanups, everything lambdabot does,
 even the main command loop, is a @-command.  If you just run it as
 'lambdabot', you give it zero commands, so it loads all plugins,
 executes zero commands, and quits.  I suppose I could make the command
 loop the default, but that is just too ugly since as it stands the
 core doesn't know the command loop even exists.  You want 'lambdabot
 -e offline' or 'lambdabot -e rc online.rc'.  Note that none of this
 applies if you are using the tarball. 

Usage: lambdabot [--online|--restricted]

(As I said, I'm using lambdabot-4.0)

 I eventually persuaded Plugin.Pl.Transform.hs to compile by disabling the

 When I run it as
 lambdabot
 I get
 Initialising plugins.
 (with lots of '.'s, presumably one '.' per plugin)
 and then the command prompt returns.  There is no sign of a lambdabot running.
 
 Any idea where I can start to diagnose what's going wrong?

Since obviously at least one user found this confusing, perhaps you
might want to change it to print out a message like No commands
given... exiting! or something like that when it's invoked with no
arguments.

Cheers,
