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
Type /msg MemoServ HELP command for help on any of the
above commands.
(*) By default, any user with at least level 10 access on a
channel can read that channel's memos. This can be
changed with the MemoServ LEVELS command.
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.
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.
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.
