What it does - The `track command and the other commands on this page allow you to keep track of any time a selected user logs on. Anytime a selected user logs on, all wizard/operators and god/owners are notified througha page.
To start tracking someone, use `track (user) and substitute their username for (name).
To track someone for other than the default time period, use `trackfor (dur) (user). Substitute their username for (name) and a number of minutes for (dur).
Version Note: The `trackfor command only works for version 4.5 of the server. In version 4.4, you would use `track (dur) (name) to track someone for other than the default time.
Wether you use `track or `trackfor you will see a log message and a page something like this...
Page from System: Bob [12.123.123.123] tracked for 120 minutes by Hank
When a user that is being tracked logs on, you will see a log message and a page something like this...
Page from *Tracker: Bob [12.123.123.123] signed on
When the server tracks someone, it uses the PUID and REG key hash to detect logons.
You can tell the server to use IP address to track someone using the `trackip (dur) (ip) command
You can use the full IP address of the person to be tracked or a portion of it.
Example: `trackip 30 12.123.* will track anyone with an IP address that starts with 12.123.
To remove a track on someone `untrack (user). Substitute their username for (name).
Whisper Option: The `track, `trackfor and `untrack commands can be whispered to the user to save typing the user name.
Note: If a user logs off before you can set up a track, you can still track that user as long as you have their PUID hash, RegKey Hash or IP address.
Example: `track EXXXXX will track a user with a regkey hash of EXXXXX - even if they are not currently logged on.
