- _z_a_w_a_y provides a way for you to automatically send replies
- when other people contact you using _z_w_r_i_t_e(_1). _z_a_w_a_y sub-
- scribes itself to class "MESSAGE", instance "*", so that it
- can monitor your incoming messages. It does not affect the
- operation of any other client receiving messages. _z_a_w_a_y is
- typically run when you are leaving your terminal or display
- temporarily. _z_a_w_a_y usually never exits; when you return to
- your terminal you should type the interrupt character (usu-
- ally ^C) in order to make _z_a_w_a_y exit.
-
- _z_a_w_a_y uses a message file (which defaults to $HOME/.away) to
- describe what reponses should be sent to which senders. The
- general format of this file is:
-
- >name
- >name
- message
- >name
- message
-
- Any number of user names may be specified preceding the mes-
- sage to send to those senders. If a user name appears more
- than once, the message will be a concatenation of each of
- the appropriate messages. There are two special names: "*"
- indicates that the following message should be sent to all
- senders and "%" indicates that the following message should
- only be sent if the user name has not matched yet.
-
- If no file is specified, and no default file can be found,
- the following message is returned:
-
- I'm sorry, but I am currently away from the terminal
- and am not able to receive your message.
-
- If a user name does not match any of those listed in the
- file, and no "*" or "%" field is specified, no return mes-
- sage is sent. All messages are preceded by the line
- "Automated reply:". To avoid loops, messages are not sent
- in response to messages beginning with "Automated reply:" or
- sent by the same Kerberos principal as the user running
- _z_a_w_a_y.

- This message comes to you compliments of zaway!
-
- The final "compliments" message will be included in all mes-
- sages, whereas the "I'm not sure" message will only be
- included in messages that are not from "eichin", "tony", or
- "jruser".
