use the script in /spider/connect/<callsign> to effect the 'chat' exchange
necessary to traverse the network(s) to logon to the cluster <callsign>.
-=== 9^CATCH <node call> All|[<msgno> ...]^Mark a message as sent
-=== 9^UNCATCH <node call> All|[msgno> ...]^Unmark a message as sent
+=== 5^CATCHUP <node call> All|[<msgno> ...]^Mark a message as sent
+=== 5^UNCATCHUP <node call> All|[msgno> ...]^Unmark a message as sent
When you send messages the fact that you have forwarded it to another node
is remembered so that it isn't sent again. When you have a new partner
node and you add their callsign to your /spider/msg/forward.pl file, all
be ALL the non-private messages. You can prevent this by using these
commmands:-
- catch GB7DJK all
- catch GB7DJK 300 301 302 303
+ catchup GB7DJK all
+ catchup GB7DJK 300 301 302 303 500-510
and to undo what you have just done:-
- uncatch GB7DJK all
- uncatch GB7DJK 300 301 302 303
+ uncatchup GB7DJK all
+ uncatchup GB7DJK 300 301 302 303 500-510
which will arrange for them to be forward candidates again.
+Order is not important.

=== 0^DBAVAIL^Show a list of all the Databases in the system
Title says it all really, this command lists all the databases defined
in the system. It is also aliased to SHOW/COMMAND.
Reload the /spider/data/bands.pl file if you have changed it manually whilst
the cluster is running.
+=== 9^LOAD/BADDX^Reload the bad DX table
+Reload the /spider/data/baddx.pl file if you have changed it manually whilst
+the cluster is running. This table contains the DX Calls that, if spotted,
+will not be passed on. FR0G and TEST are classic examples.
+
+=== 9^LOAD/BADMSG^Reload the bad msg table
+Reload the /spider/msg/badmsg.pl file if you have changed it manually whilst
+the cluster is running. This table contains a number of perl regular
+expressions which are searched for in the fields targetted of each message.
+If any of them match then that message is immediately deleted on receipt.
+
+=== 9^LOAD/BADWORDS^Reload the bad words table
+Reload the /spider/data/badwords file if you have changed it manually whilst
+the cluster is running. This file contains a list of words which, if found
+on certain text portions of PC protocol, will cause those protocol frames
+to be rejected. It will all put out a message if any of these words are
+used on the announce, dx and talk commands. The words can be one or
+more on a line, lines starting with '#' are ignored.
+
=== 9^LOAD/CMD_CACHE^Reload the automatic command cache
Normally, if you change a command file in the cmd or local_cmd tree it
will automatially be picked up by the cluster program. Sometimes it
again. Execute this command to reset everything back to the state it
was just after a cluster restart.
+=== 9^LOAD/FORWARD^Reload the msg forwarding routing table
+Reload the /spider/msg/forward.pl file if you have changed it
+manually whilst the cluster is running.
+
=== 9^LOAD/MESSAGES^Reload the system messages file
If you change the /spider/perl/Messages file (usually whilst
fiddling/writing new commands) you can have them take effect during a
=== 0^SET/WX^Allow WX messages to come out on your terminal
=== 0^UNSET/WX^Stop WX messages coming out on your terminal
+=== 0^SHOW/CALL <callsign>^Show any callbook details on a callsign
+This command queries an international callbook server on the internet
+and returns any information available for that callsign.
+
=== 0^SHOW/DATE [<prefix>|<callsign>]^Show the local time
This is very nearly the same as SHOW/TIME, the only difference the format
of the date string if no arguments are given.
=== 5^SHUTDOWN^Shutdown the cluster
Shutdown the cluster and disconnect all the users
+=== 9^SPOOF <call> <command>^Do a command as though you are another user
+This command is provided so that sysops can set a user's parameters without
+me having to write a special 'sysop' version for every user command. It
+allows you to pretend that you are doing the command as the user you specify.
+
+eg:-
+
+ SPOOF G1TLH set/name Dirk
+ SPOOF G1TLH set/qra JO02LQ
+
=== 5^STAT/DB <dbname>^Show the status of a database
Show the internal status of a database descriptor.
