oer (and oer+MySQL) - Newbie guide, channel admin

Issuing a logon for the password protected channel admin (optional)


Unless you were provided a channel admin with a static hostmask you will need to logon first. If you need to logon, you will require your logon information which is usually given to you by the global admin. You need a handle and a password in order to logon. Issue the logon /msg <botnick> logon <channel> <handle> <password> /msg oer logon #unix EQU-dyn secret You should receive a message from oer or oer+MySQL saying that <handle> was successfully logged on.
