BASIC FUNCTIONS
| |-
|
|
|
/p(eople)
- |shows an overview of people present on this server, sorted by public rooms. |People in private rooms are listed after [private]. | | |
/go <room>
- |moves to that room. A new private room is created if a room |name is given which doesn't exist yet. | | |
/h(elp)
- |shows a short list of commands. | | |
/bye
- |closes the chat window and saves the user data. |People in the room see that you are leaving on purpose, |instead of seeing messages of temporary unavailability. |Please do use this command to leave the chat. | |
-
|
|
|
/t(ell) <person> <message>
- |sends a single message directly to the person. The recipient |doesn't need to be in the same room. | | |
/t(alk) <name> and /t(alk)
-
|enters the dialogue mode which sends all of your input to the
|named person, not to the current room. You can still talk to the
|room by typing
"/ <text>" , in other |words, by prefixing your input with a slash and a space. |"/q" terminates this dialogue mode. | | | /me <description>
-
|shows an action description.
"/me smiles" |for instance produces the message"JoeCool smiles." | | /<your nickname> <description>
-
|sets such an action description permanently. It will appear
|when people send you private messages and in the output of
|
/who. | | | /who
- |shows the list of people present, which have set such a permanent |description. The "idle time" of the person is also shown in hours |and minutes. | |
DISPLAY SETTINGS
| |-
|
|
/notify <name>
- |marks or unmarks a person for automatic notification as soon as you enter the |chat system. If you're familiar with IRC, be aware that this function works |exactly the opposite way as in IRC. | | |
/set filter [ s(trangers) | off | d(efault) ]
- |permits you to disable private messages from strangers. |Only friends which are marked for notification using /friend |will be allowed to talk to you privately. Others will have to |wait to meet you in a room. "default" resets this value to |the local default. | |
-
|
|
|
/ig(nore) <name>
- |suppresses all messages from named person in future. | | |
/display <name>
- |makes those messages visible again. | | |
/hi(ghlight) <name>
- |makes this person's message appear highlighted. | | |
/reduce <Name> oder /lo <Name>
- |makes this person's message appear reduced. | |
-
|
|
|
/fr(iend) <Name>
- |offers friendship to a person. Should this friendship be acknowledged from |the other side, then you will in future receive presence updates on the |other person's availability. Additionally this function gives both sides |extended access to profile information, unless you make use of the | /trust command to specify a custom trust level for this person. | | |
/trust <Name> <Digit>|-
|Define a custom trust level value for a person. The trust level must |be a digit ranging from 0 to 9, or a minus character, which will restore |the default. | | |/expose <Name> <Digit>|-
|Define the exposure level for a friend. This factor defines how high the |trust level a person must be, to be enabled to see your friend listed in |your profile. By issueing /expose Merlin 0 for instance you can |ensure that noone shall ever find out, that you are friends with Merlin. | | |/un(friend) <Name>
- |cancels a friendship. You can also use the word /cancel . |Usually the friendship is cancelled on both sides. | | |
/show [notify|in|out|display|trust|expose|all]
- |shows the current state of friendships, display settings, trust or |exposure levels. | |
PRESENCE UPDATES
|-
|
|
/<State> [<Description>]
- |where State is one out of |realtime, talkative, here, busy, nearby, unavailable, away, vacation, offline |while Description is an optional |free form phrase to describe your state better. |As soon as you enter this, your change of state and description will |be multicast to all your friends. | |
/av(ailability) <Digit> [<Description>]
- |You can achieve the same also by providing the state numerically. |The list of states shown above is equivalent to digit values 9 through 1. | |
/mood <Digit> [<Description>]
- |Mood can currently only be set using a digit on the scale from happy to sad |which is equivalent to the values 9 to 1. |
ADVANCED FUNCTIONALITY
|-
|
|
|
/r(eply)
- |puts you into dialogue mode with the person you last received |a message from. | | |
/m(ore)
- |puts you into dialogue mode with the person you last sent |a private message to. | | |
/g(reet)
- |puts you into dialogue mode with the person you last received |a presence notification from. | | |
/log [<amount or pattern>]
- |shows the given amount of messages from the log of last messages, |or it matches the last log for a pattern you provide. |For registered users a limited amount of messages is saved |when you leave. | | |
/logclear
- |deletes your personal log of last messages from memory and |the server's hard disk. | | |
/h(ome)
-
|brings you to your home room, which you can define using
|
"/set home <roomName>" . | | | <ENTER>
- |Transmitting an empty line simply by hitting ENTER or RETURN |will clear the screen. Simple but very useful function. | | |
/j(oin) <room>
- |enters a room additionally to your current room. | | |
/leave <room>
- |leaves a room without entering one. | | |
/sub(scribe) [ <room> [ p(ermanent) ]]
- |configures a room to be automatically entered each time you log in. |Very useful for news feeds or other gateway rooms. The permanent |setting makes you stay in the room even if you log out. Caution! | | |
/unsub(scribe) <room>
- |does what you expect. | |
JUST A LITTLE HISTORY LESSON..
|-
|
|
|
/m(sg) <name> <message>
- |is the same as /tell, for compatibility to IRC. |The command was originally introduced on IBM mainframes to |send a message to an other user, then adapted to work |across the BITnet/EARN. | | |
/whois <name>
- |is the BITnet Relay equivalent for /examine and /x. | | |
/part <room>
- |is the IRC equivalent to /leave. | | |
/c(hange) <room>
- |works like /go. The command on BITnet relay was actually |/channel and the channels were numeric like on HAM radio. |## Jeff Kell probably came up with that analogy. | | |
/q(uery) [<person>]
- |is the same as /talk, for compatibility to IRC. |Jarkko Oikarinen is probably the person who came |up with this terminus, as if one would always be asking questions. | | |
/la(stlog) [<amount or pattern>]
- |is the same as /log, for compatibility to ircII. |BigCheese introduced this function in 1989. | | |
:<description>
- |works just like /me. |This notation comes from the world of multi-user adventure games, |supposedly around 1987. lynX liked it so much, that he introduced it |in IRC in form of the /me command in 1990. |You can change the colon character using /set actchar. | |
FURTHER EXOTIC COMMANDS..
|-
|
|
- |How long has this been going on? | |
- |Information request about the software version of your server or somebody |else's software configuration, which may or may not be given to you however. | | |
/notify <person> [<delay>]
- |does the opposite of what IRC /notify does: it actively |sends presence notification to the person. This is a sort of |"asymmetric" friendship function. You can provide a delay flag |which is currently one out of [ d(elayed) | D(elayed more) ], |this will postpone the presence notification for a certain time |period after the start of your new session. /nf also allows |you to delete the notifications to a friend (established using /friend) |without effectively deleting the friendship. | | |
/save
- |is for paranoids only. | | |
/enter <room>
- |is just the nicer name for the /join command. | |
COMMUNICATION WITH REMOTE PSYC USERS
| |The PSYC technology is intended to let you communicate with other |PSYC users worldwide. In some cases you will already have done so |without noticing, because some rooms you have entered are connected |to other PSYC servers, or the people contained in a room may have |come from a distant server.| |You can do these kind of things yourself, using the same commands |described in the rest of the manual. Whenever a <name> is given |for a command, you may as well use a PSYC address.
| |For instance, |if you want to talk to me, no matter where your server is, you can |do /t psyc://psyced.org/~lynX (t as in talk).
| |If you want to enter the PSYC |developers room, you can go for /c psyc://psyced.org/@welcome |(c as in change, but you can aswell use /go or even /join).
| |If you want to flaunt your PSYC address on your business card or email |signature, you can figure it out using the /x command, |which examines yourself.
| | |You can make /friend-ships with |remote users, /subscribe services across the network, and |you can even do many of these things with Jabber™ addresses. Just |prepend xmpp: to the simplistic User@Host syntax they use.
| |There are some more commands which are mostly designed for use |with remote PSYC addresses. Here they are: | |
-
|
|
/alias <nickname> <identity>
- |allows you to define personal shortcuts for remote PSYC users so you no longer |have to type the complete address. Makes the person also more palpable |to your IRC client, if you are using one. | | |
/unalias <nickname>
- |Do I need to explain this one? | | |
/surf
- |produces a web address where you can head off surfing along the social |network of your friends friends. You must give this a try! | | |
/co(nnect) <identity> [<password>]
- |Experimental command to switch personality or even connect to a |PSYC identity on a remote PSYC server. |
ACCESS OPTIONS
| |psyced supports several ways to access rooms and people on it. |Many of them also provide the option of TLS/SSL encryption, for your |enhanced privacy. | |-
|
|
- |Simple but efficient way to provide access to a PSYC server from a website. |The applet could be enabled here. | |
- |This server accepts |IRC client |protocol on the IRC port 6667. |Try this link. |You shall find Getting started using IRC with psyced helpful to understand |how different PSYC is from IRC. | |
- |The minimalist way to access this server: use a telnet program and connect |to port 2323 (or maybe 23) of the machine running this server. |Like this. |You can see who's in the room by sending an empty line. | |
- |This chat server started out as a research project to implement |the new Protocol for SYnchronous Conferencing. It is used to |interact with other PSYC servers and services. |You can access the server using a native PSYC client. |Software is available for download at the |PSYC website. | |
- |This server accepts Jabber protocol for clients with or without SSL, |but it can also communicate with all Jabber servers in the world |directly, using the xmpp:<nickname>@<server.adresse> |notation. See also in the menu item on PSYC NETWORK functions. | |
- |A builtin webserver lets you create socially aware web applications |with integrated chat and messaging. | |
- |The NNTP access lets you use regular usenet news clients to read and |write messages in the forum rooms. Experimental. | |
- |Lets you submit messages by e-mail. Experimental. | |
- |Lets you access your lastlog by POP3. Experimental. | |
- |Lets you submit messages from a mobile phone. Experimental. | |
- |Lets you use PSYC to manage your VoIP telephony. Experimental. | |
ROOM-ORIENTED FUNCTIONS
| |Rooms are programmable in PSYC. |psyced in particular provides the administrator with standard |components which can still be enhanced with custom logic and commands. |In fact commands are being added all the time, and even you could help us |implement anything we haven't provided yet. |These are the commands provided by such standard components, leaving out |only the new THREADS rooms, also known as forum/blog-rooms, which |are easier to use via the web interface anyway. |-
|
|
INVITE AND FOLLOW
| |/i(nvite) [<person>]
-
|Invite a person into this room. The room will be informed of this,
|so it can decide wether to let the person in, which is the normal
|behaviour. It may also choose to inform the others of your
|invitation.
|
|
|
/f(ollow)
- |The recipient of an invitation just needs to type /f as in |/follow to enter the room. If there was no invitation, then |the last active room is selected (if you are using multiplace). |Very useful, just try it out. | |
BASIC FUNCTIONS
| |/top(ic) [<topicAnnouncement>]
- |sets a persistent description of the discussion topic. |This command may be reserved for administrators or owners in public rooms. | | |
/st(atus) or the short form /s
- |shows information about the room. | |
w/ HISTORY COMPONENT
| |/hist(ory) [<amount or pattern>]
- |shows the given amount of messages from the history of last public |messages in the room, or it matches them for a pattern you provide. |This function is only available in special public rooms. | | |
/histclear [<amount>]
- |may allow you to clear the history of such a public room, depending on |the configuration of the room. When you provide an amount, only that |amount of messages is deleted from the room history, otherwise the |complete history is removed. Should you by mistake keep a private |conversation in a public room, this may be of help to protect your |privacy. It is however much safer to keep private conversations |in private rooms or messages! | |
w/ MASQUERADE COMPONENT
| |/ni(ckname) [<mask>]
- |The good ole /nick command allows to change your name |within the conversation of a specific room. For technical reasons |of protocol design, IRC clients cannot display these changes. | |
w/ OWNERS
| |/mand(ate) [<person>]
- |enables the owner of a room to empower other room members |to additional commands. | | |
/listaides
- |show the list of people you have empowered. | | | |
/kick [<person>]
- |bans a person from the room. This decision cannot be revised until |either the room or the server are reset, so use it wisely - not for fun. | | |
/style [<http://<web-address of a CSS file>]
- |defines a style sheets for the place. Only real cool |PSYC clients will show it, however. | |
-
|
|
COMMANDS FOR OPERATORS
|The administrators of a server can define operators - chaps who have |a few commands more to serve the users better. Among these: | | |/public [on|off]
- |Certain room types allow operators to change the visibility |of the room on the fly. You can check using /people. | | |
/masq(uerade) [on|off]
- |allows the operators to activate the masquerading option, |that is the /nick command mentioned before. | | |
/silence [presence|conversation|all|none]
- |The "presence" filter disables or enables the display of enter and leave |messages in the room. Very useful in crowded rooms. Whereas the "conversation" |filter makes the room a non-talking room like you typically need for |external newsfeeds. | | |
/logging [on|off]
- |starts a transcription of public conversation onto the server |harddisk. The /status command will show if this |function is currently activated. It is only available in |predefined permanent public rooms. | |

OPERATOR COMMANDS
| |These commands are available to the administrator of the server. |For room-specific operator commands see ROOM FUNCTIONS. | |-
|
|
/yell <message>
- | |Make a server-wide announcement. | | |
/tcp
- | |Technical list of currently active TCP connections. | | |
/mem(ory)
- | |Show current memory statistics. Likely to only look good on telnet. | | |
/malloc
- | |Memory allocation statistics. Likely to only look good on telnet. | | |
/odump
- | |Generate an ugly table of object statistics in /log/objects.dump. | | |
/warn <nick> [<message>]
- | |Issue a warning to a local user of your server. | | |
/kill <nick> [<message>]
- | |If the warning didn't impress, disconnect a local user from your server. | | |
/block <addressMask> <reason>
-
|
|This disables access to the server from Internet address numbers
|which start with <addressMask>. To help you remember why you
|did that, you are requested to store a reason along with it.
|For example you could be issueing:
|
/block 207.46.130. no microserfs on this server!
|It is a good idea to always terminate your masks with a period |so that 10.10.10 wouldn't match 10.10.103.3. |Use the same command to unblock a host. | | | /config <entry> <setting> [<value>]
- | |Configure a setting for a specific entity, usually remote servers. |But we are currently not using this function to do any job. | | |
/patch <nick> <setting> [<value>]
- | |This allows to change a setting for a local user, as if the user entered |a /set command. But in fact this is currently limited to resetting the |password. | | |
/(re)load <file>
- | |Recompile an object class. Typically necessary when modifying an existing |place ( /load place/space ) without restarting the server. | | |
/destruct <object>
- | |Destruct an object or object class without reloading it. Can be abused |to disconnect a user without a polite message. | | |
/shutdown
- | |Shutdown the server. The actual shutdown happens in several phases and |takes a few seconds for hopefully all connections to be safely closed. | | |
/restart
-
|
|Restart the server.
_PAGES_help_settings
|
USER SETTINGS
| |Most of the following functions can also be changed using the /edit |command, if you are using the web interface. | |-
|
|
|
/set password <newWord> or
| /set password <oldWord> <newWord>- |register or modify a password. Once a password is set your chat name |can only be accessed by providing such password. | | |
/set email <emailAddress>
- |sets your e-mail address. This information is visible to your friends |only, and to the server administrator if he necessitates to reach you. |Best of all, it enables the server to forward messages to you by email when |you're not online. | |
/set telephone <phoneNumbers>
- |is a good place to keep phone numbers for your friends to call you. | |
/set home <homeRoom>
- |sets your "home" room, a room you are sent to when you type /home. | |
/set publicname <Your Name>
- |shows everybody what your real name is. | |
/set name <yourNickname>
- |changes the uppercase/lowercase style in which your name should be |displayed, so you can be sure your name will always appear in the proper |way even when people type your name in the wrong case. | |
/set speakaction <verb>
- |lets you speak with a different verb than "says", for instance try |"whispers" or "yells". | |
/set visiblespeakaction [ on | off | mixed ]
- |if your IRC client shows actions in a nice way, you may want |to activate them! | |
/set filter [ s(trangers) | off ]
- |disables receiving messages from people that are neither your friends |nor in the same room with you. You can make friends using the rather |obvious /friend command. | |
/set presencefilter [ on | off | all | automatic ]
- |helps you limit the choice of friends' presence updates that are shown to you. |by default, automatic away messages are filtered, whereas other types are |shown. when this is set to "on", only explicitly manually set away messages |are shown. by setting this value to "off" you can see any presence message |while the "all" setting will disable any display of presence messages. |you can still see who's on or away by looking at your buddy list however. | |
/set echo [ off | on | automatic ]
- |Normally you will see everything you type echoed to your screen |so you can be sure they arrived safely. But you may prefer not to |see such echo. If you're using the IRC access port, then you will |automatically not receive any echo, since that's uncommon on IRC, |but you can switch it on explicitedly. | |
/set greeting [ off | on | automatic ]
- |When you connect to psyced you are shown your last login data |which is useful for you to ensure nobody else connected to your |account in the meantime. You are also informed about your current |command character and a few other things. You can turn this greeting |information off using this setting. If you're a Jabber user, then these |greetings will be off by default, as it is unusual behaviour for Jabber |servers. In that case you may want to intentionally turn them on to |improve your safety. | |
/set multiplace [ on | off ]
- |allows you to enter more than one room at a time in some access forms. |An essential feature for advanced users, yet confusing for some beginners. | |
/set clearscreen [ on | off ]
- |only applies to the telnet access. Hitting carriage return without |any other input will normally clear the terminal screen. | |
/set visibility [ off | on ]
- |makes you invisible from /who or /people commands. | |
/set exposetime [ off | on ]
- |hides the information when you were last active also from your friends. | |
-
|
|
/set publicpage http://<web-address>
- |lets you publish your homepage address. It appears whenever someone |clicks on your name. | |
/set privatepage http://<web-address>
- |allows you to set up a page just for your chat friends. It will not |be shown to chatters that haven't exchanged /friend-ship |with you. | |
/set photopage http://<web-address>
- |A page that shows more photos of you. Will be linked to your |profile photo. | |
/set photofile http://<web-address>
- |A medium size photo of yours, stored on a web server of your choice. |The photo appears when you or your friends use /surf to look |at your profile. | |
/set miniphotofile http://<web-address>
- |A thumbnail size photo of yours, to be used for lists of friends. | |
/set keyfile http://<web-address>
- |invites you to store the address of your public key file, |allowing for encrypted communication to happen between you and |your friends, provided you are both using an encryption capable |PSYC client, |or at least email. | |
/set stylefile http://<web-address>
- |lets you specify a cascading style sheet file for personalized |presentation of your profile! | |
-
|
|
/set commandcharacter <prefix>
- |Also accepted as cmdchar this setting allows you to change |the character that prefixes commands. The cmdchar normally is |set to / (slash) except for IRC users, for them it is |a + (plus sign) by default. | |
/set actioncharacter [ <prefix> | off ]
- |Also understood as actchar this setting allows you to change |or even disable the character that prefixes actions. The actchar normally |is set to : (colon). You can also produce actions by issuing my |popular /me command. | |
/set charset [ <character-set> | - ]
- |Some access technologies (telnet, applet, IRC) may need you to set the |client's character set manually. If your umlauts look all wrong, try |/set charset latin1. This setting will have no influence on |other access technologies. |The system charset on this server is {_VAR_charset}. | | |
/set timestamp [ on | off | - ]
- |The normal behaviour is to show timestamps with messages that did not |happen "just now." When turned "on," IRC clients will receive CTCP |TS messages instead of plain text timestamps. | |##
/set verbatimuniform [ on | off ]
- |## If you run a very polite IRC client, you may find this useful. It |## stops patching addresses of remote users. But it's even better to |## use the /alias command. |## |
|Here you are able to change your settings and profile.
