7 Client commands

These are included for completeness and for use for the admin8 user (no special client for the admin currently exists). Usually a client will send the necessary commands automatically. Additionally, it is possible to use telnet to communicate with dwun. If you do so, you will almost certainly want to enter ``TIMEOUT 0'' at the start of the telnet session. Commands are not case-sensitive (but any arguments are).

HELP

context sensitive information about commands.

CONNECT

tell dwun you wish to have the connection up.

DISCONNECT

you no longer need the connection up.

USER username

supply username for authentication.

PASS password

supply password for authentication.

QUIT

close socket connection. It will also DISCONNECT if you're CONNECT'ed.

TIMEOUT seconds

change keepalive timeout to this. Can be zero, meaning no timeout. This option is most useful when using telnet, since you don't want to have to type ALIVE all the time.

CLOSE

de-authenticate. It will also DISCONNECT if you're CONNECT'ed.
