(Sound-Zline)
SOUND 
Format: /sound soundname
Will play the specified sound file to the room.
Examples:
/sound door
When you know the list of names that are available on the chat site you can play them with this command.
SQUIT
Format: /squit server reason
Causes the specified server to be disconnected from the network. Use the /connect command to connect the server back to the network.
Example:
/squit irc.webmaster.com I want to connect you to another hub.
This is done to reroute a server A server cannot connect to another server on the same network. So you have to squit a server before you can reconnect it. You might wish to globop before rerouting, in case someone has a good reason not to reroute. It is also nice to wallop before squiting so that users who wish to be kept informed will expect the split.
STATS
Format: /stats option server
Shows statistics for the server you designate, if you don't specifically designate a server it defaults to the server you are on.
Example:
/hs stats <command>
TIME
Format: /time server
Display the current local time and date of the server to which you are connected or specified in the command.
Examples:
/time
/time webmaster.*
This is useful either to see what time it is if you do not have the time easily accessible or to see what time zone a server is in. You can also issue a time command if you are using a client that logs and want to mark down what time it is in the log for future reference.
TOPIC
Format: /topic room topic
All Users (or only room operators if the room is mode +t) can use this command. The topic command lets you change the topic of a channel, topics can be up to 80 characters long.
Example:
/topic #ConferenceRoom The webmaster Support Room
The topic is one of the first things people see about a room. The topic often gives some information about the room, or highlights an amusing quote that came up in the room recently. The specific use of the topic varies from room to room, but the topic should generally reflect something about the conversation going on in the room. Most rooms will limit the topic command to room operators to prevent topics that they dislike.
TRACE
Format: /trace server
Show the route between you and that server.
Example:
/trace webmaster.*
This command can be used to determine where lag exists by following the route. It can also help network operators determine how to reroute servers based on their current connections.
UNAKILL
Format: /unakill ident@host
This command will remove an akill from the server you are connected to. Unlike the rakill command, which will remove the akill from all the servers, the unakill command will remove it only from your server.
Example:
/unakill mark@*.webmaster.com
This can be a way to give someone a chance to come back onto the network while still limiting their use and keeping a close eye on them. But generally you will want to remove akills globally rather than locally.
UNKLINE
Format: /unkline user@host
Will remove a kline from your server. Note: you must match the user@host information exactly or the unkline will not work. You can use wildcards to erase multiple klines at one time.
Example:
/unkline lamer@pm02.digex.net
/unkline *@*.digex.net
This undoes the kline command. It is generally good to remove klines periodically. Klines will often ban people who did not do anything wrong, and people will often start behaving when given a second chance. It's a good idea to keep track of anyone who is being repeatedly klined so that stronger measures can be taken or the kline can be kept.
UNQLINE
Format: /unqline nick
This command will remove a temporary QLINE from your qline list. Qlines are prohibited nicknames. To place a qline please see QLINE.
Example:
/unqline badword
You may wish to remove a qline if you decide that a nick is acceptable or the qline is proving to be too broad and you wish to set more specific qlines.
UNSHUN
Format: /unshun nick
This command will remove a nickname from a shun list. A shun means that the person who has been shunned cannot send any messages through the server. Very often the user doesn't even notice that he/she has been shunned. See SHUN.
Example:
/unshun Webmaster
Shuns should generally be temporary measures unless the person is aware of being shunned. Otherwise it can be very confusing to the user.
UNZLINE
Format: /unzline host
This command will remove a zline from the /stats k list, the zlines are prefixed by a z. See zline for more information.
Example:
/unzline 999.999.99.999
As with the other commands that ban users from the network, it is a good idea to remove old entries to allow people back on.
USERHOST
Format: /userhost nickname nickname
Returns the user@host information for up to five users at a time.
Example:
/userhost josh phil
If you just want the address for some users this is a faster way to retrieve them than individually whoising each of them. It also only returns the mask, unlike the whois command that will several lines of information. You might want to userhost some people if you needed their mask to identify them.
VERSION
Format: /version server
Gives the current version of the server you are logged into and information about the modes the server is set in, such as, CR1.8.1.win32.ws2 irc.webmaster.com dnfu
d - DNS
f - Flood control
u - Users are able to register channels
A - Alpha NT
B - BSDi
D - Digital Unix
F - FreeBSD
H - HPUX
I - IRIX
L - Linux
N - NetBSD
S - Solaris
ws2 Winsock2
win32 Windows 95/98/NT
Examples:
/version webmaster.webchat.org
/version webmaster.*
/version
Any user can retrieve version information. Although it is unlikely you will need the information.
WALLOPS
Format: /wallops message
This command will send a message to all users that are set mode +w.
Example:
/wallops We're going to be doing some re-routing, so you will experience some quick splits. Please be patient.
Wallops can be seen by anyone on the network, so they should be carefully considered before being sent. They are usually reserved for important information that would interest the users, but is not vital enough to be sent as a newsflash or one of the other methods of notifying most or all users.
WATCH
Format: /watch +|-|command name
This command works the same way as the /ison command although it will notify you if the user appears or goes away until the person is removed from your watch list. You can input up to 5 names or rooms into each watch command. You can send multiple watch commands. This command will allow you to see a user connect/disconnect from the network. If you are watching a room, it will tell you when the room empties or has a user join after it was empty.
Commands:
+<nick|room> Add nick(s) to the watch list
-<nick|room> Remove nick(s) from the watch list
Flags:
c - Clear the watch list
s - Show your watch list and how many watch lists your nick is on
l - Show who on our watch list is online
L - Show the watch list, indicating which users are online and which are offline
Example:
/watch +JoelKatz +WebMaster +Samurai +#Spiderslair
/watch s
/watch L
Watch is designed to let you know when the things that interest you are online. It works much like the buddy command, although you have to set it each time you log into the network. It also does not require the authorization of the people you want to add.
WEBADMIN
Format: /webadmin
Forces the web server to restart.
Example:
/webadmin
This should be used if the web server needed to be stopped. If the web server is not running then people cannot connect to the network through web pages and people with configuration access cannot use the web configuration tools.
WEBSTART
Format: /webstart
Forces the web server to restart.
Example:
/webstart
This is the same as WEBADMIN.
WHO
Format: /who #room|nick
When a who is done on a room you are in, you will get a list of the nicks, masks, and "real names" of everyone in the room and their status in the room. There will be a letter after their nick, either a H for "here" or a G for "gone". If there is a G it means they set themselves away. A % sign means that the person is +i, invisible. When a who is done outside the room only people who are not +i will show, and if the room is secret or private no names will show. When a who is done on a nick, you will see the person's name, mask, and "real name".
Examples:
/who #ConferenceRoom
/who Jennifer
A who is a good way to get a list of people and their masks. The who command for a room is much like the names command except that it gives more information. Who, when used on a nick, is much like whois except that it gives less information. Sometimes you want to see nicks and their masks. For example, if you wanted to see if there are clones in the room then who would be the best tool. Or it can be an easy way to see how many people are actually present. Although in large rooms a /names is better for most purposes because it is shorter and a /who may fill up your screen.
WHOIS
Format: /whois nick
Displays information about a nickname. This includes the host that they are logged in from, the server they are logged into, the public rooms they are in, private rooms you are both in, and the number of seconds that have passed since they last communicated with the server. There may be additional information depending upon what fields they have set.
Example:
/whois webmaster
Whois is generally the first command you would use on people to learn something about them. For related commands see who, whowas, and names.
WHOWAS
Format: /whowas nick
For a certain amount of time after a client has left the server you can still get information about that client. The information is the same as the information in the whois command.
Example:
/whowas webmaster
If you just missed someone, but you want to know the whois info and forgot to check, you can whowas them. You can also use whowas if someone keeps switching nicks and you cannot whois them easily.
ZLINE
Format: /zline ip range
This command is a form of firewall for your server. This will prevent problem users from a specified host address from accessing the server.
Example:
/zline 10.127.0.1-10.127.1.255
This is the strongest ban you can place against an address. The person will not even see a reason why they are banned; they will just be unable to connect. The ban must be sent on the numeric version of the address.
