this command trigger the /hello message from a user, execute the system command echo Hi and return the command output to the user via message.

Do you want to know your server uptime? no problem:

Free disk space via Telegram? let's do it:

	["/disks"]="/bin/df -h"

Execute external script:

	["/auth ([a-zA-Z0-9]+)"]="/usr/local/bin/auth.sh @R1"

Don't try this at home:
