Available commands

Command	Description
hi	Prints the greeting message
birthday	Prints the amount of days left to the next user's birthday
turnoff	Prints the farewell message and exits (manager only)

Before using any command, mention the bot username before the command name, like this:

@bdreminder hi

Limitations

Currently users have to fill their birthday into the Skype field (because there is no Birthday field available) so that bot could parse it.

This behaviour will change in the future versions.
