""" This Bot uses the Updater class to handle the bot and the JobQueue to send timed messages. First, a few handler functions are defined. Then, those functions are passed to the Dispatcher and registered at their respective places. Then, the bot is started and runs until we press Ctrl-C on the command line. Usage: Basic Alarm Bot example, sends a message after a set time. Press Ctrl-C on the command line or send a signal to the process to stop the bot.
