Verify bot files

[HelloWorld]

How do I get the direct detection of the bot when I change the content of the /message file.  I do not want to close and open the bot and enter the guard code.

is your /message file a .json or .js.

Listen for file changes, it it's a .json you can just re-require it. I'm not sure if it works with .js file.

You can even run your bot under pm2 and use Watch & Restart features:

var itemlist = require('./itemlist/itemlist.json');
client.on('friendMessage#'+Config.admin, function(steamID, message) {
	if (message.toUpperCase().indexOf("@changejson") >= 0) {
		delete require.cache[require.resolve("./itemlist/itemlist.json")]
		itemlist = require('./itemlist/itemlist.json').data;
	}
});

here is code when bot get your message, it will reset itemlist to new
