As for IRC, /kick is a shorthand: /KICK nickname [optional reason] Forcibly kick that nickname out of the current channel with the reason specified. If no reason is given, it will just use your nickname as the default reason. See it says "kick...out". (http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/irctutorial.html) As we are not limited to one word shorthands, we don't have to be as terse. --Woof! _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-dev
