Commands

Commands are given to ZNC by messaging the virtual user *status. Likewise, modules are communicated to by messaging *modname as well.

Alternatively you can use /znc command instead of /msg *status command and /znc *module command instead of /msg *module command

Example: /msg *status listmods

<prozac> listmods
<*status> +---------+------------------------------------------------------+
<*status> | Name    | Description                                          |
<*status> +---------+------------------------------------------------------+
<*status> | email   | Monitors Email activity on local disk /var/mail/user |
<*status> | shell   | Gives shell access.                                  |
<*status> | schat   | Secure cross platform (:P) chat system               |
<*status> +---------+------------------------------------------------------+

The prefix for these virtual users can be changed from * in the znc.conf file. It is wise to use a character that is illegal to use on IRC so that you don't lose the ability to talk to a real person who happens to be using the same prefix on their IRC nick.
