# $EPIC: notify,v 1.2 2003/12/08 19:38:16 nsx Exp $
Synopsis:
   load notify

Description:
   This is a scripted notify system, much like EPIC's internal notify 
   system, with the ability to manage both global and local notify lists.

     Alias       Description                                              
     /nlist      shows nicknames in all notify lists
     /notify     manages local and global notify lists

   The syntax for managing notify lists is similar to that of EPIC's internal
   /notify.  To modify a list, supply a list of nicknames you wish to add or
   remove.  Nicknames preceded by a '-' will be removed from the list.  To add
   a nickname to the local notify list of a server, use 'nickname:refnum'.  To
   add a nickname to the local notify list of all servers in a particular
   group, use 'nickname::group'.  To clear the global notify list, specify '-'
   as the sole argument.  To clear all notify lists (global and local), specify    '--' as the sole argument.

   Note: Local notify lists override the global notify list.  The global list
   is enforced for a server only when no local list for that particular server
   exists.

   This script uses the following /set variables:

     NOTIFY -- turns notify system on or off

     NOTIFY_INTERVAL -- how often (in seconds) to check for signons and signoffs

     NOTIFY_USERHOST_AUTOMATIC -- if set on, userhosts will be displayed in
                                  the signon messages (this can lag you if you
                                  have a very large notify list)
