Internet Express for Tru64 UNIX Version 6.8 Administration Guide (14233)

16 Internet Relay Chat Administration
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) allows users to communicate with each other in real time across a
network of Internet servers.
16.1 Configuring IRC
Information on configuring IRC is included in usr/internet/irc/example.conf on the
Internet Express kit. You can customize your Internet Relay Chat (IRC) server by modifying the
configuration file, /usr/internet/irc/lib/ircd/ircd.conf. The configuration options
are documented in the comments in this file. After changing the configuration file, you must
restart the IRC server (Section 16.2: Controlling the IRC Server).
16.2 Controlling the IRC Server
To control the IRC server, follow these steps:
1. From the Administration utility Main menu, choose Manage Components.
2. From the Manage Components menu, choose IRC Chat Server.
3. From the IRC Chat Server Administration page, choose Start/Stop the IRC Chat Server.
4. If the server is currently running, you can:
• Stop the server by clicking on Stop
• Restart the server by clicking on Restart
If the server is currently stopped, you can start the server by clicking on Start.
Note:
IRC is run as single instance servers. Only one instance of this server will be run within the
cluster. The /sbin/init.d scripts have been modified to use Cluster Application Availability
(CAA) for this service. See Section 1.5: Managing Internet Express in a TruCluster Environment
for more information on running in a TruCluster environment.
