<!-- The contents of the documentation begin here. Label
each chapter so with the id attribute. This is necessary for two reasons: it
allows you to easily reference the chapter from other chapters of your
document, and if there is no ID, the name of the generated HTML files will vary
from time to time making it hard to manage for maintainers and for the CVS
system. Any chapter labelled (OPTIONAL) may be left out at the author's

<para>You should avoid clicking the <guibutton>Refresh List</guibutton> button. Most servers have thousands
of channels, and performing this puts a high load on the server. Besides, it can require several minutes to complete,

</para>
<para>Sometimes there are "secret" channels on servers. Such channels are not listed in the <guilabel>Channel List</guilabel>.
You can still join these channels if you know their name. In any <interface>Input Line</interface>, type: <userinput><command>/join</command>
<replaceable>#channelname</replaceable></userinput>. (The <userinput>#</userinput> is required.) A new tab is created for the channel. If you join a channel and the Nick Panel lists only your &nickname;, it means that the channel did not exist before. The server created the channel and you are the operator.

<title>Monitoring who is online</title>
<para>
&konversation; will keep you informed when your buddies are connected to the &irc; network
or not.
</para>
<para>You can associate online &nickname;s with contact entries in your address book.
When you do this, the &nickname; and &irc; network where the &nickname; is online are
entered into the contact in the address book. The &irc; network is recorded because &nickname;s
are unique across a single &irc; network. The &nickname; in two different &irc; networks
is not necessarily the same person, but the same &nickname; on two different servers
within the same &irc; network generally is the same person.</para>
<note><para>This is why it is important to use the same <guilabel>Network</guilabel>
for all servers in the same &irc; network, when <link linkend="serverlist">

<para>You can also define &nickname;s you want watched that are not in your address book.
In this case also, each &nickname; has an associated &irc; network. See below.</para>

<sect1 id="scripting">
<title>Scripting</title>
<para>&konversation; comes with some handy scripts you can run from the program. To
run a script, in a channel, query, DCC, or server tab, type a command of the form</para>
<para><userinput><command>/exec </command> <replaceable>script</replaceable>
[<replaceable>parameters</replaceable>]</userinput></para>
<para>which executes the script named <userinput><replaceable>script</replaceable></userinput>
passing it (optional) <userinput><replaceable>parameters</replaceable></userinput>.</para>
<para>For example, type the following command in a channel tab</para>
<para><userinput><replaceable>/exec kdeversion</replaceable></userinput></para>
<para>to send your &kde; and &Qt; version numbers to the channel.</para>
<para><userinput><replaceable>/exec cmd uname -a</replaceable></userinput></para>
<para>executes the <userinput><replaceable>cmd</replaceable></userinput> script,
passing it <userinput><replaceable>uname -a</replaceable></userinput>. This sends your
&Linux; version string to the channel.</para>
<para>To get a list of all available scripts, type the following command in a
&konsole; screen.</para>
<para><userinput><replaceable>ls $KDEDIR/share/apps/konversation/scripts</replaceable></userinput></para>
<para>You can write your own scripts. Scripts are shell scripts and can be written in
any shell language, such as bash, perl, or python. When &konversation; runs a script, the
first three parameters sent to the script are:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>The port number for the &irc; server of the tab where the
<userinput><command>/exec</command></userinput> command was entered.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para>The address of the server.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The channel name.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Here is a sample shell script (cmd).</para>
<para>
<programlisting>
#!/bin/sh
# Executes a command and prints the output into Konversation.
PORT=$1;
SERVER=$2;
TARGET=$3;
shift;shift;shift;
$@ | while read line; do dcop $PORT Konversation say $SERVER "$TARGET" "$@: $line"; done
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>Notice that the script uses &DCOP; to communicate with &konversation;. The <computeroutput>say</computeroutput> command causes
the output to be sent to the channel as a normal message. To display something
in the tab without sending it to other users, use <computeroutput>info</computeroutput>
instead. Look at the existing script files for more examples of writing scripts.</para>
<para>To be able to run a script you have written, you must install it by copying
it to $KDEDIR/share/apps/konversation/scripts or to $HOME/.kde/share/apps/konversation/scripts. You must also give the file execute
privilege, for example <userinput><replaceable>chmod a+x myscript</replaceable></userinput>.</para>
