| | ====== User Listings ====== |
| | |
| | Synchronet has a small toolkit for **finding and contacting other users** — those currently online and those who've used the system in the past. Most of these are loadable modules invoked from the [[user:shell:|command shell]]; some of them are also accessible via [[user:ctrl_keys|control-key commands]] from anywhere on the BBS. |
| | |
| | ===== Live: who's online right now ===== |
| | |
| | ==== Ctrl-U — Users Online ==== |
| | |
| | ''Ctrl-U'' from anywhere on the BBS lists users **currently logged on**: their names, the nodes they're on, their connect type/rate, and what each is doing right now. Default module: ''nodelist -active''. See [[user:ctrl_keys|Control-key commands]]. |
| | |
| | ==== /L — List Node Activity ==== |
| | |
| | ''/L'' from the Main or File Transfer prompt — or from within a chat session — lists the activity of **every node** on the system, including inactive ones (showing their last-known state). Like ''Ctrl-U'' but more comprehensive. Default module: ''nodelist''. |
| | |
| | ==== Ctrl-P — Send Instant Message / Telegram ==== |
| | |
| | ''Ctrl-P'' from anywhere lets you send a private one-line message: |
| | |
| | - **Online recipient**: arrives on their screen immediately as an //instant message//. |
| | - **Offline recipient**: queued as a //telegram// for them to read at next logon. |
| | |
| | After ''Ctrl-P'' you'll see a list of online users and their node numbers. Enter a node number, or ''A'' to broadcast to all users on the system. Type your one-line message and press ''<CR>''. |
| | |
| | Default module: ''privatemsg''. See also [[:module:sbbsimsg|InterBBS Instant Messaging]] for cross-BBS messaging. |
| | |
| | ===== Lists: who has accounts ===== |
| | |
| | ==== U — User Lists ==== |
| | |
| | ''U'' from the Main prompt opens the User Lists module. You're prompted for which list: |
| | |
| | * **U** — User Account List — every user on this BBS (subject to sysop visibility settings) |
| | * **S** — User Account List of (current) Sub-board — only users with access to the sub-board you're on |
| | * **L** — Logon List for the Day — who's been on today, with timestamps |
| | |
| | Quick keys: ''[UU]'', ''[US]'', ''[UL]'' from the Main prompt. |
| | |
| | Default module: ''userlist''. |
