7
9 node
10
12 URONode is a simple node front end, modelled after the node shells of
13 LinuxNode, AWZNode, and Flexnode.
14
16 The following commands are supported for users of URONode:
17 ? Give short list of available commands.
19 Announce Reads the file uronode.announce. This is like a local
21 announcement wall where you can give your locals connect‐
22 ing into your node a chance to see the local activities
23 going on like a cork board with posted announcements.
24 Bye Disconnect user from the node.
26 Connect <call | alias> [s|d] For NETROM
28 Connect <port> <call> [via <call1> ...] [d|s] For AX.25
30 Connect <call> <address> [<digi>] [d|s] For ROSE
32 Connect <destination> [s|d] For FlexNet
34 Initiates an AX25, NET/ROM, ROSE or Flexnet connection to
36 a remote host. If more than two parameters are entered
37 and the second parameter is ten charachers in length then
38 it is interpreted as a ROSE connection, otherwise the
39 first parameter is interpreted as a port name and AX25 is
40 used to make the connection via that port. If only one
41 parameter is given the connection is made searching for
42 the callsign in NET/ROM nodes, in AX25 Fixed links, in
43 FlexNet destinations and last in Mheard database in this
44 order.
45 For a ROSE connection the <address> part must be exactly
47 six or ten digits. If only six digits are supplied, the
48 DNIC (first four digits) default to the local DNIC. The
49 local DNIC is assumed to be that of the first configured
50 Rose port in /etc/ax25/rsports.
51 The user may optionally supply as the last argument a sin‐
53 gle character which modifies the default behaviour on dis‐
54 connection of the connection. If a single `s' is entered
55 as the last argument, then when the remote host discon‐
56 nects you will be returned to this node. If a single `d'
57 is entered as the last argument, you will be disconnected
58 from this node too. The Default behaviour (neither `s' nor
59 `d' entered) is configured in the node configuration file
60 and depends on the sysop preference.
61 CAllbook <call>[@<server>]
63 Retrieve data about a callsign from an internet-accessible
64 callbook server. The server name can usually be omitted,
65 since the default server configured by the operator is
66 usually valid. The default setting can be overridden by
67 specifying a host name.
68 Escape [<escape string>]
70 Override the sysop configured default escape character
71 setting. If the Escape command is given without an argu‐
72 ment then the current escape character setting is returned
73 to the user. The escape string may be specified using any
74 of the well known codings:
75 <char> to enter the escape character in its binary form.
77 ^C to enter the escape character as a control character
79 value.
80 NNN to set the escape character to a Decimal value.
82 0xNN to set the escape character to a HexaDecimal value.
84 0NNN to set the escape character to an Octal value.
86 off to disable the escape character.
88 Finger [<username>][@<hostname>]
90 Retrieve information about users of a system. If the user
91 name is omitted, shows the users currently logged on the
92 host. If the hostname is omitted, defaults to the local
93 host.
94 Help [<command>]
96 Give help for the specified command or this text if no
97 command is specified. Commands can not be abbreviated.
98 Use the "?" command to retrieve a list of available com‐
99 mands.
100 HOst <hostname> | <ip address>
102 Give the Domain Name Service host name information about
103 <hostname> or <ip address>.
104 Info Display the version information and the contents of the
106 /usr/local/etc/ax25/uronode.info file, which should
107 describe any aspects of your system that you would like to
108 brag about.
109 INTerfaces Display the node's interface schema, most folks often call
111 these "ports".
112 Jheard<interface>
114 Displays the last 20 stations heard to this node. You may
115 use an interface name to get the last 20 stations heard to
116 that particular interface.
117 JLong<interface>
119 Displays the full list of the heards database up to the
120 last 100 callsigns. Add the name of an interface for the
121 full heards listing for that specific interface.
122 Links [d | n | v | <call>]
124 Shows the AX25 link table of the local node. The destina‐
125 tions on this list can be reached using the Connect com‐
126 mand without knowing the actual network path used (assum‐
127 ing the network is OK).
128 The optional parameter d show the AX25 nodes directly
130 linked. The optional parameter n show the AX25 nodes
131 linked connecting another node and passing a string like
132 "C XX0XX". The optional parameter v show the AX25 links
133 via digipeaters.
134 You can also specify a destination callsign to get the
136 verbose information for a single destination.
137 Nodes [* | <node>]
139 Show the NET/ROM node table of the local host. The nodes
140 on this list can be reached using the Connect command
141 without knowing the actual network path used (assuming the
142 network is OK).
143 The optional argument '*' toggles verbose mode, showing
145 the Obsolescence counter, relative path quality and the
146 port and neighbour node used to reach each node. You can
147 also specify a node callsign to get the verbose informa‐
148 tion for a single node. In that case a "which" field that
149 tells what route the kernel will use to reach the node is
150 also shown.
151 Ping <host> [<size>]
153 Check if a host can be reached trough the network by send‐
154 ing an ICMP Echo Request packet to the host and waiting
155 for it to reply. If a reply is received the round-trip-
156 time (RTT) between the local and remote hosts is shown.
157 If an optional length is specified the data portion of the
159 packet is filled with length number of bytes up to 128.
160 Routes Shows the NET/ROM route table of the local host (eg. the
162 nodes which the local node directly talks with). These
163 nodes are used to reach the other nodes on the node table.
164 Fields shown are:
165 Link Is there an AX25 connection active to this node.
167 Port Which port is this route on.
169 Callsign The callsign of the neighbour node.
171 Quality A relative quality for the path (0-255).
173 Destinations Number of other nodes reached via this route.
175 Lock Is the quality of this route locked by the operator.
177 QSO Number of NET/ROM session enties.
179 Telnet <host> [<port>] [<string>] [d|s]
181 Initiate a telnet session to a remote host using TCP/IP.
182 By default, the telnet command connects to the TCP port 23
183 (allocated for telnet). You can specify another TCP port
184 or a TCP port name.
185 If an optional third argument <string> is given, that
187 string, followed by a CRLF is sent to the remote host
188 right after the connection is established. This is mainly
189 useful for command aliases.
190 If a single `s' is entered as the last parameter, then
192 when the remote host disconnects you will be returned to
193 this node. If a single `d' is entered as the last parame‐
194 ter, you will be disconnected from this node too. Default
195 behaviour (neither `s' nor `d' entered) depends on sysop
196 configuration.
197 MSG <user> <message>
199 Send a message to another user of the node. The user in
200 question must be in idle state (ie. not connected/connect‐
201 ing anywhere or running a program).
202 If the user has an SSID other than zero, the SSID must be
204 specified. If multiple users are logged in with the same
205 callsign/SSID pair, those who are in idle state, get the
206 message.
207 Users Show a list of users currently connected to the local
209 node, where the users are coming from, and what are they
210 doing at the moment.
