You can get help with -h.

no you can't
installed with npm install -g scuttlebot
then running sbot -h
gives : Invalid command
propose there is an sbot --help option.
I might take a stab at a pull request for it if I can find the relevant files.
reference : https://github.com/ssbc/docs#install-scuttlebot
What version of scuttlebot are you running? (Type sbot version). The current version (7.3.0) has full live help, and (for me) will output it if you do either sbot, sbot -h, or sbot --help.
nope
I get the same results with the sbot I've just built from my pull request (7.3.0)
I'm trying npm install -g scuttlebutt in the hopes that I get a newer version ?
nope, exactly the same. Is there anything else I might have missed ?
What server are you running? Do you possibly have patchwork running?
I bet that's what's happening. Patchwork embeds scuttlebot 7.0.2. The version command is actually outputting the cli client's version, not the server version. We should make it output the server version.
yes I am.. good catch, I thought the system would treat them differently (I don't understand that magic yet)
(that's what happened when I stopped patchwork)
how misleading
Yeah, we don't have a satisfactory setup for this yet, because our plans are wrapped up in Brickhouse, which isn't ready yet.
For a non-brickhouse solution. I don't want Patchwork to embed a Scuttlebot, I'd rather it use an outside sbot as a server.

Ok, I created ssbc/ssb-server#250 to address some of the confusion we had here, and we have standing issues to deal with how patchwork and sbot's relationships need to be made simpler and more clear.
Closing this issue.
Sweet, thanks for that. And thanks for taking time to respond to me
muddling around all up here

No sweat, sorry for the trouble here. This is a nasty spot I'm trying to solve.

@pfraze what is stopping patchwork from embedding the latest version of scuttlebot?
Nothing, just need to update it. What I want to do, though, is not embed sbot, because it's not a repeatable pattern in other applications (unless they maintain a separate data directory)
yes. I think it's a reasonable special case though, during the brickhouse bootstrapping process
