Setup custom commands

Hermes allows to add custom commands to the Telegram Bot. These commands will be automatically appended to the /help message with a description. Please read through the Advanced usage section of this guide for more information.

Warning

Custom commands allow to execute arbitrary pieces of codes. If the Hermes bot is executed with administrative priviledges, the custom commands will inherit those priviledges too. Please, be sure that no other user in your Linux system is able to access the Hermes configuration directory, so to avoid injection of undesired commands to the Hermes bot configuration files. Furthermore, be sure that no undesired user is authorized to fetch commands to the Hermes bot.
