- look [user | socket#] (/<cmd>)
-
- This command allows peeking into a user session on the BBS or
- into any non-local socket. 'look [user | socket#]' brings up a window
- which follows the specified user or socket. If looking in on a bbs
- user, you can initiate a 'chat' session with that user.
-
- There are a few commands available:
-
- /? or /h - will show a short help line
- /m <msg> - send a message to user. (only if 'looking' at user)
- User sees: '<sysop>: message text'
-
- /c - initiate a 'chat' with user. The bbs will suspend
- while you talk with the user.
- /q or /b - if in 'chat' mode, finishes it and returns the user
- to the bbs.
- if in 'look' mode, finishes looking at user/socket.
-
- Note: if not in 'chat' mode, all non-command strings will be
- ignored.
-
- Looking at non-bbs sockets might be helpful debugging things or
- seeing what an ftp user or a smtp user is doing.
-
- Note that often you won't see what you expect: e.g., ftp user
- sockets don't show the data transfered including directory
- listings because data transfer occurs on a separate socket.
- (Not seeing it is NOT a bug, for once...8) )
