I had the definition in BOTS and configs, the files were there as specified by the path. It was suggested to me that that the definitons in /usr/local/bin/"bot path" were missing which indeed was true but creating the respective files solved some issues and created some more as it happens.

You created the files /usr/local/bin/intelmq.bots... manually? Better let them created by installing intelmq with pip. After adding new bots, you need to run the installation method again. It creates the executables in the bin-directory for you.

The intelmqctl now recognizes the bots and runs them, but when I try to stop the bot it displays that the bot wasn't running.

What does `intelmqctl run bot-id` show?
