There are several settable flags which affect how oer works. oer has global, channel, admin and user flags. All flags can be set either by directly editing oer config files (when oer isn't running) or from IRC.
 
 
Global Flags
Flag Availability Description Notices
b 1.0-47 or newer keep precedent versions of the configuration files filenames are appended with a .bak suffix
d 1.0-52 or newer on startup create a internal dynamic admin named *INTDYN* if set you can control oer from oer's userhost (user@host)
f 1.0-28 or newer respond to CTCP queries from anyone -
g 1.0-47 or newer get and keep nick oer will try as long as necessary to get it's primary nick
l - logging of all IRC traffic be careful, the oer-<pid>.raw logs will eat tons of disk space
m 1.0-41 or newer messages instead of notices for private replies, not preferred
n oer+MySQL 1.0-26 or newer new kind of last & seen logging joins and messages of all channels are logged into 2 tables
o oer+MySQL enable output logging -
p oer 1.0-51 or newer disables stoned server detection aka. ping-pong (some networks have it disabled) if you set this, consider setting a line noise value for the server in question (otherwise oer might never detect that it was disconnected from the server)
q 1.0-28 or newer switch on Q friendly mode if set, the nick "Q" is allowed to do modes on any channel oer is on even if "Q" hasn't been added to the channel as user
s 1.0-41 or newer switch on services if set, the services that have been added to oer using the "add service" command are allowed to do modes on any channel oer is on
S oer+MySQL 1.0-39 or newer allow shared oer+MySQL setup in order for oer+MySQL to notice that data contained in the database has changed, oer+MySQL has to constantly poll the database so unless you need a shared setup don't set this flag or it will cause you extra CPU cycles, database/network bandwidth etc.
