set notify [on|off|toggle]

When turned on, the client will periodically poll all of the servers for the status of all of the nicks in your notify list. The interval between these polls is set notify_intervall seconds.

If, during a poll, the status of a nickname has changed (it was previously online, but is now offline, or it was previously offline, but it is now online), then either on notify_signon or on notify_signoff will be hooked, as the case may be.

If this value is turned off, the client will never poll your connected servers about the nicks in your notify list and you will not be notified when a nickname enters or leaves irc.
