- This is not what monitor does. This is what SvrLstBot does.
-
- Gwydion is right -- without working S: lines it is not possible for a client
- to receive the messages that monitor needs (even with S: lines it may not
- be possible).
-
- Also, at one time, there was a server which had a "*" in its name.

- Monitor responds to at least
- /trace monitor.*
- /admin monitor.*
- /version monitor.*
-
- Aren't these the typical commands we use to find out information about
- a server if we don't know anything about it? I thought so.....
