Here are the variations of the +command possible: + + +notify user Add "user" to notify list + -notify user Remove "user" from notify list + =notify Display your notify list + + Also, when you are on another user's notification list, you will be sent a +message that your entering the server was noted by that user. If you want to +be notified each time *any* user logs on or off, use the "pin" variable. Use +the "znotify" command to see which users currently logged on are on your +notify list and which have you on their notify lists. + + The size of your notify list is limited (type "limits" to see current size). +Fortunately, there is a way you can maximize the use of your notify list. The +solution involves the "notifiedby" variable. If you are on another user's +notify list and have your "notifiedby" variable set to 1, you will be notified +by the server when that user logs on/off. It will work the same way as if you +had that user on your list: you will be *notified by* the other user's list! +Here's an example: + + Hawk's notify list includes DAV *and* DAV has "notifiedby" set to 1 + +will have the same effect as ... + + Hawk's notify list includes DAV *and* DAV's list includes Hawk + +... except that one notify list entry (namely, DAV on Hawk's list) is doing +the work of two entries. That is how you can save on the length of your +'notify' list. + + +See Also: addlist limits variables znotify + +[Last modified: November 26, 1995 -- Friar] + |
