Commands
Everything is typed in the channel
The commands are the ones OmenServe and iroffer users already know. The bot answers with a notice, so only the person who asked sees the reply. Here the bot is called alfa: use your bot's own nick.
| @alfa | Sends you the bot's list. The list goes ahead of queued files, so you never wait behind somebody's albums just to see what is there. |
|---|---|
| @find <words> | Searches every bot in the channel at once. Each bot answers with its own matches. |
| @find "metal church" 1986 | Words in quotes must appear together, in that order. |
| !alfa <file> | Asks for one file. Paste the line from the list or from a search reply. It also works as a private message to the bot, if you are in one of its channels. |
| !alfa !rar <folder> | Asks for a whole folder, packed as one archive when your turn comes. |
| @alfa-que | Shows what you are waiting for and where you are in line. |
|---|---|
| @alfa-remove | Cancels everything you have queued. |
| @alfa-remove <file> | Cancels just that one file. |
| @alfa-help | How to use this bot, in a few short lines. |
|---|---|
| @alfa-stats | What the bot has and what it has sent. |
| @alfa-top | The files and albums people ask for most. |
For the operator: the admin console
The operator talks to the bot over a password-protected DCC CHAT. Type help there for the full list. These are the ones used most.
| status | Slots, queue, speed and what is being sent right now. |
|---|---|
| queue [nick] | Everyone waiting, in order, or one person's files. |
| queuemove <nick> up|down | Moves somebody one place earlier or later in line. |
| clearqueue <nick> | Clears somebody's queue. |
| ignore <nick> <minutes> | Drops one person's requests for a while. It ends by itself. |
| ban <pattern> | A permanent ban, such as *!*@10.0.0.?. unban removes it. |
| update | Rebuilds the list from your folders. |
| set <KEY> <value> | Changes a setting, exactly as the dashboard's Settings page would. A login with a paired token types unlock and the password first. |
| lists | The other bots' lists you hold, and which of them have changed. |
| rehash | Reloads code and settings without dropping anybody's queue. |
| shutdown now | Stops the bot. |
