======Synopsis:======
[[load]] notify

======Description:======
This is a scripted notify system, much like EPIC's internal [[notify
command|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)
