Hey, well im really confused about os_trace module for anope... is there any tips or tricks i should do to find and akill bots? I don't have a clue how to find bots with os_trace other than to print nick * and akill the weird nicknames..and for the spamfilter how can i make it so i can block general words, or gline a nick on connect or a identd stuff like that because to me the spamfilter is very confusing also atm! so please. Thanks Smile

/os trace akill <criteria> reason <reason>

nick -> Nickname match
ident -> ident match
info -> Realname match
Identify -> yes/no
nickage -> How long the clients been connected for (eg. nickage <300)
numchannels -> number of channels
channel -> #channel client's on
duration -> akill duration (ie. 2d)
..Among others (/os help trace criteria)

So if you wanted to akill everyone with nicknames like [XP]%%%%% in the channel ##bots## who have been connected for less than 300 seconds and who aren't identified then you'd use:

/os trace akill nick [XP]* channel ##bots## nickage <300 identify no duration 2d reason bots/clones

(You could always just do akill nick [XP]* but having more criteria reduces the risk of catching innocent users.)

You should also print before akilling to ensure you're glining the right people.

Reason has to go at the end.

I'm not sure which version of TRACE you're using - I assume you're using the one taken directly from the Anope module website which is rather buggy (can crash on certain traces) and is a bit bare in terms of features.

I don't know if we (swiftirc) will be publicly releasing the fully working command with additional options (such as ?,% and ! matching) but you'd have to talk to Sephiroth on the network.

(Just so you know, the command orginated from srvx so that already has it built-in)
