2Synopsis:
3   load notify
4
5Description:
6   This is a scripted notify system, much like EPIC's internal notify
7   system, with the ability to manage both global and local notify lists.
8
9     Alias       Description                                              
10     /nlist      shows nicknames in all notify lists
11     /notify     manages local and global notify lists
12
13   The syntax for managing notify lists is similar to that of EPIC's internal
14   /notify.  To modify a list, supply a list of nicknames you wish to add or
15   remove.  Nicknames preceded by a '-' will be removed from the list.  To add
16   a nickname to the local notify list of a server, use 'nickname:refnum'.  To
17   add a nickname to the local notify list of all servers in a particular
18   group, use 'nickname::group'.  To clear the global notify list, specify '-'
19   as the sole argument.  To clear all notify lists (global and local), specify    '--' as the sole argument.
20
21   Note: Local notify lists override the global notify list.  The global list
22   is enforced for a server only when no local list for that particular server
23   exists.

25   This script uses the following /set variables:
26
27     NOTIFY -- turns notify system on or off
28
29     NOTIFY_INTERVAL -- how often (in seconds) to check for signons and signoffs
30
31     NOTIFY_USERHOST_AUTOMATIC -- if set on, userhosts will be displayed in
32                                  the signon messages (this can lag you if you
33                                  have a very large notify list)
