Memoserv
  • HELP
     
     MemoServ is a utility allowing IRC users to send short
     messages to other IRC users, whether they are online at
     the time or not, or to channels(*).  Both the sender's
     nickname and the target nickname or channel must be
     registered in order to send a memo.
    
     MemoServ's commands include:
    
         SEND   Send a memo to a nick or channel
         CANCEL Cancel last memo you sent
         LIST   List your memos
         READ   Read a memo or memos
         DEL    Delete a memo or memos
         SET    Set options related to memos
         INFO   Displays information about your memos
    
    
  • SEND
     
     Syntax: /msg MemoServ  SEND {nick | channel} memo-text
     
     Sends the named nick or channel a memo containing
     memo-text.  When sending to a nickname, the recipient will
     receive a notice that he/she has a new memo.  The target
     nickname/channel must be registered.
     
    
  • SENDALL
     
     Syntax: /msg MemoServ  SENDALL memo-text
    
     Sends all registered users a memo containing memo-text.
    
    
    
  • CANCEL
     
     Syntax: /msg MemoServ  CANCEL {nick | channel}
     
     Cancels the last memo you sent to the given nick or channel,
     provided it has not been read at the time you use the command.
    
    
  • LIST
     
     Syntax: /msg MemoServ  LIST [channel] [list | NEW]
     
     Lists any memos you currently have.  With NEW, lists only
     new (unread) memos.  Unread memos are marked with a "*"
     to the left of the memo number.  You can also specify a list
     of numbers, as in the example below:
    
        LIST 2-5,7-9
           Lists memos numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9.
    
    
  • READ
     
     Syntax: /msg MemoServ  READ [channel] {num | list | LAST | NEW}
     
     Sends you the text of the memos specified.  If LAST is
     given, sends you the memo you most recently received.  If
     NEW is given, sends you all of your new memos.  Otherwise,
     sends you memo number num.  You can also give a list of
     numbers, as in this example:
     
        READ 2-5,7-9
           Displays memos numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9.
    
    
  • DEL
     
     Syntax: /msg MemoServ  DEL [channel] {num | list | LAST | ALL}
     
     Deletes the specified memo or memos.  You can supply
     multiple memo numbers or ranges of numbers instead of a
     single number, as in the second example below.
     
     If LAST is given, the last memo will be deleted.
     If ALL is given, deletes all of your memos.
     
     Examples:
     
        DEL 1
           Deletes your first memo.
     
        DEL 2-5,7-9
           Deletes memos numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9.
    
    
  • SET
     
     Syntax: /msg MemoServ  SET option parameters
    
     Sets various memo options.  option can be one of:
     
         NOTIFY      Changes when you will be notified about
                         new memos (only for nicknames)
         LIMIT       Sets the maximum number of memos you can
                         receive
     
     Type /msg MemoServ HELP SET option for more information
     on a specific option.
    
    
  • SET NOTIFY
     
     Syntax: /msg MemoServ  SET NOTIFY {ON | LOGON | NEW | OFF}
    
     Changes when you will be notified about new memos:
     
         ON      You will be notified of memos when you log on,
                    when you unset /AWAY, and when they are sent
                    to you.
         LOGON   You will only be notified of memos when you log
                    on or when you unset /AWAY.
         NEW     You will only be notified of memos when they
                    are sent to you.
         OFF     You will not receive any notification of memos.
     
     ON is essentially LOGON and NEW combined.
    
    
  • SET LIMIT
     
     Syntax: /msg MemoServ  SET LIMIT [channel] limit
     
     Sets the maximum number of memos you (or the given channel)
     are allowed to have. If you set this to 0, no one will be
     able to send any memos to you.  However, you cannot set
     this any higher than <num>.
    
    
  • INFO
     
     Syntax: /msg MemoServ  INFO [channel]
     
     Displays information on the number of memos you have, how
     many of them are unread, and how many total memos you can
     receive.  With a parameter, displays the same information
     for the given channel.
    
    
  • STAFF
     
     Syntax: /msg MemoServ  STAFF memo-text
    
     Sends all services staff a memo containing memo-text.
     Note: If you have opers on both the oper list and the
     admin list they will recive the memo twice.  The same
     applies for oper's on the Root list as well as other
     lists.
    
    
  • SERVADMIN SET LIMIT
     
     Syntax: /msg MemoServ  SET LIMIT [user | channel] {limit | NONE} [HARD]
     
     Sets the maximum number of memos a user or channel is
     allowed to have.  Setting the limit to 0 prevents the user
     from receiving any memos; setting it to NONE allows the
     user to receive and keep as many memos as they want.  If
     you do not give a nickname or channel, your own limit is
     set.
     
     Adding HARD prevents the user from changing the limit.  Not
     adding HARD has the opposite effect, allowing the user to
     change the limit (even if a previous limit was set with
     HARD).
    
     This use of the SET LIMIT command is limited to Services
     admins.  Other users may only enter a limit for themselves
     or a channel on which they have such privileges, may not
     remove their limit, may not set a limit above <num>, and may
     not set a hard limit.
    
    
  • SERVADMIN INFO
     
     Syntax: /msg MemoServ  INFO [nick | channel]
    
     Without a parameter, displays information on the number of
     memos you have, how many of them are unread, and how many
     total memos you can receive.
     
     With a channel parameter, displays the same information for
     the given channel.
     
     With a nickname parameter, displays the same information
     for the given nickname.  This use limited to Services
     admins.
