- Usage: SQUIT <servername>
- Sends a server quit to the named server.
- This is an operator command and unfortunately if it is
- messed up, it can effect MANY people so it's best that
- one knows EXACTLY what they are doing when they squit
- a server. A common mistake is to use a server mask
- like if you are on some.server.edu and you typed
- SQUIT ircserver.*
- expecting to break off ircserver.iastate.edu it instead it finds
- ircserver.et.tudelft.nl and squits it from it's uplink.
- IF you're going to use a hostmask then make sure that
- you supply enough of the name to keep from messing up
- the net. There are more pitfalls, but you should read
- the docs in the ircd source for those.
-
- Note:
- SQUIT SHOULD NEVER EVER BE USED FOR A PERSONAL VENDETA
- It simply hurts the users.
