If you encounter any problem, contact your local
IRC-Administrator
or an IRC-Operator
.
An IRC-Admin is a person who has access to all files concerning
ircd (the server program).
An IRC-Operator or `` IRC-op'' is a person
who has privileges given to him by an IRC-Admin
and tries to maintain a fast reliable IRC network.
Information on how you can find out who he/she is, can be found below.
Each time you are prompted for a server name, remember you can supply the nickname of someone being connected on that server instead. This may be useful at times...
/ADMIN [<server>]
Displays the administrative details about the given server.
If no server is supplied, the server you are connected to is used.
/ADMIN ### Administrative info about poly.polytechnique.fr ### Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, FRANCE ### IRC-Administrator Nicolas PIOCH (Nap@IRC) ### <pioch@poly.polytechnique.fr>
/LINKS [[<server>] <wildcard expression>]
Shows a list of servers currently connected to the IRC network.
If <wildcard expression> is given, /LINKS
asks the given <server> for a list of servers matching
the given expression.
/LINKS *po* *** nova.unix.portal.com 7 Cupertino California, USA *** poe.acc.Virginia.EDU 6 University of Virginia 2.7.1f *** polaris.utu.fi 9 University of Turku, Finland *** polaris.ctr.columbia.edu 6 Columbia University, New York City *** csd.postech.ac.kr 4 POSTECH Computer Science Dept. *** cdc835.cdc.polimi.it 2 Polytechnic of Milan, Italy *** poly.polytechnique.fr 0 Ecole Polytechnique, Paris, FRANCE !
/SERVER [<server>|<server number> [<port number>]]
Switches your primary server to the supplied <server>
at the specified <port number>. If no port nunmber is given, the
default port number is used (normally 6667).
/SERVER poly.polytechnique.fr 6667 *** Connecting to port 6667 of server poly.polytechnique.fr *** Welcome to the Internet Relay Network, Nap *** Your host is poly.polytechnique.fr, running version 2.7.2g.Nap+6(privacy) *** This server was created Sat Jan 16 1993 at 12:16:10 MET
Occasionally, you can switch servers faster than the IRC network can send out the information that you have left your previous server. So don't be surprised if you are told your nickname is already in use... just wait a moment and set it with /NICK again.
/MOTD [<server>]
Gives the Message-Of-The-Day for the named server.
If no server is given, your server is used.
/MOTD MOTD - poly.polytechnique.fr Message of the Day - MOTD - _____________________________________ MOTD - / MOTD - \_| Bienvenue sur le serveur | MOTD - | Internet Relay Chat | MOTD - | de l'Ecole Polytechnique, FRANCE |_ MOTD - | _________________________________|__ MOTD - \_/___________________________________/ MOTD - MOTD - | | | En cas de probleme, MOTD - )_) )_) )_) tapez /admin MOTD - )___))___))___) MOTD - )____)____)_____)\ Nicolas PIOCH MOTD - _____|____|____|____\ \__ Nap sur IRC MOTD - -- Welcome on IRC ! /--------- MOTD - ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^ ^^^ * End of /MOTD command.
