Comment 4 for bug 903361

Everything looks good, only problem is Alice still takes over the buffer, it might be better to instead push alice to the background and setup a STDOUT redirect to a log file like:

    alice -p 80 -a 0.0.0.0 > /var/log/alice-irc.log 2>&1 &

That way Alice will release the current shell and continue to complete the start hook, without doing this the start hook will never complete.
