- Usage: SERVER [<name of server>|<number in server_list> [<port>]]
- SERVER [+|-]
- SERVER -DELETE <number in server_list>
- Switches your primary server to the server specified at the
- specified port number. If no port number is given, the default
- port number is used. Your channel and AWAY status will remain
- unchanged. Occasionally, you can switch servers faster than the
- irc network can send out the information that you have left a
- server. So don't be surprised if it says your nickname is in
- use... just wait a moment and set it with NICK. IRCII
- maintains an internal list of servers you have connected to.
- To see that list, use SERVER with no arguments. You may also
- specify one of the servers in the server list by its number in
- the list, by issuing:
- SERVER <number in list>
- Likewise, you can automatically switch to the next or previous
- server in the server list by doing:
- SERVER +
- or
- SERVER -
- to switch to the next and previous server in the list,
- respectively.
- Also, you can set a particular server to be associated with a
- particular IRCII window. To do this, set the current window to the
- window you wish to use and do:
- SERVER +servername
- In this case, servername may again be a name, IP address, or number
- of a server in your server list.
- This will connect you to the given server as a secondary server in
- that window. Doing a /SERVER with no parameters will show you your
- primary server. If you kill the last window associated with a
- server, the connection to that server will close. If you kill the
- last window associated with your primary server, a new open server
- will be chosen as the primary server. If there are open servers you
- will not be allowed to close the connection to your primary server.
- The following will also close a connection to a specific server:
- SERVER -servername
- When you create new windows, they will use as their associated
- server whatever was the server for the current window when the new
- window was created. You can therefore have more than one window for
- any server, but still only one primary server.
-
- Every time you switch to a new server, it gets
- added to the server list automatically. To set up initial
- servers in the server list, you can specify them on the command
- line as such:
- irc <nickname> server1 server2 server3
- Each host may have it's own port number and password specified
- on the command line as well:
- irc <nickname> server1:6667 server2:7000:blah server3::foo
- In this case, server1 will use port 6667, server2 will use port
- 7000 with password blah, and server3 will use the default port
- number with password foo. The -p switch on the command line
- allows you to specify the default port number. Also, if no
- password is specified and one is needed to connect, you will be
- prompted to enter a password before you can connect. You can
- also specify the default server list in the IRCSERVER
- environment variable using the same format as above.
-
- Available flags:
- -DELETE <number in servers list>
- Allows you to remove servers from the internal server list.
