To start your znc, simply type:
[~]# zncIf you receive an error message saying your ZNC is already running such as this:
[~]# znc
[ .. ] Checking for list of available modules...
[ >> ] ok
[ .. ] Opening config [/home/username/.znc/configs/znc.conf]...
[ !! ] ZNC is already running on this config.
[ ** ] Unrecoverable config error.
This means you need to first stop your running ZNC process and then start it with the new <Pass> entry.
