====== IRC Channel Auto-Connection with Irssi ======

This tutorial explains how to configure the [[http://irssi.org/|Irssi ("the client of the future")]] IRC client to automatically connect to one or more channels when run.

  - Invoke Irssi from the shell:   $ irssi
  - After Irssi starts, enter the following commands:
    /network add sdf
    /server add -auto -network sdf irc.sdf.org
    /channel add -auto #sdf sdf
         (You may add other channels[[#fn1|<sup>1</sup>]]. Channel "#helpdesk" is added automatically.)
  - Quit Irssi:   /quit
  - Invoke Irssi again:   $ irssi (Irssi runs and automatically connects to the channels you defined in 2.)
  - Select the channel you want to see first when Irssi starts by cycling through the channel windows ("Ctrl-n", "Ctrl-p").
  - Save the Irssi channel window configuration:  /layout save

If you experience trouble, it may help to reset your Irssi configuration by deleting or renaming the file "~/.irssi/config".
