idlenotify

Usage: +|-|= idlenotify [user]

  The variations of the 'idlenotify' command are:

    +idlenotify user     Add "user" to idlenotify list
    -idlenotify user     Remove "user" from idlenotify list
    =idlenotify          Display your idlenotify list

  If a user is on your idlenotify list, you will be notified when that user
unidles by sending a command to the server.  For example, if foxbat is on your
'idlenotify' list and he issues a regular command to the server, you will see
this message:
    "foxbat has unidled."
If foxbat logs out, you will see this message:
    "foxbat, whom you were idlenotifying, has departed."

  Also, if you use the "summon" command, the user is automatically placed on
your idlenotify list.

  This list is *not* a permanent list!  When a user unidles, he/she is removed
from your idlenotify list.  If there are users you want to keep track of
often, consider using an alias (see "help alias").

SPECIAL NOTES:

(a) You can use the "finger", "who" (verbose style) and "znotify" commands to
see idle times for users.

(b) If you want to have a "busy" string set, see "help busy".
