Command /describe

Command :

/describe $server <message>

Is only for IRC Operators?

There is no such command.

I will be being delirious? I type in my unrealIRCd

/describe $hall.ssp.sld.cu 123 testing

And all users receive a private message with a "123 testing" string.
Some of you have had my experience? Perhaps as I'm an operator it lets to me do it, thats why I ask here.

Most probably a command added by some sort of script.

For more information about broadcasting a message to all users see http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIrcd/faq/#42

Got your message Dukat.

It seems like /describe do a : /notice $*.yournet.com bla bla.
Now I repeat my question, this command is only for IRC Operators? I test it as a normal user, but I did not obtain answer of any user.

Yes, of course it's oper only.

the /notice do that...a notice,
but the describe, makes a /query and then a /notice
if the user has your pv opened, and then u make the /describe,
it works like a normal notice,
even I configured my script to read notices in the window opened
at the moment, but the describe do open a query...
and it seems to be related to mIRC on Unreal, and oper only of course,
an alias perhaps??

/describe is (at least in mIRC) basically the /me version of /msg

Therefore, a command like this

/describe somewhere msg

Becomes this:

PRIVMSG somewhere :\1ACTION msg\1

In order to use a target like $servermask for somewhere, you have to be an IRCop.

(On that note, if you're an IRCop, you can also do /ctcp and even /ctcpreply to $servermasks - but that can be annoying ;) .)

Also, how mIRC deals with queries is how mIRC deals with queries on any server - Unreal has no say in the matter. /describe pops a query under the same conditions as /msg does.
