In-chat commands¶
JayWormNET’s IRC server supports in-chat commands (a.k.a. Additional commands), started from ”!”, for example, !foo bar.
The commands should be enabled in the configuration file (see The main configuration file), otherwise you will just say it to chat;
also don’t forget to white-list required commands if it isn’t done yet: In-chat commands white-list.
Custom in-chat commands may be used to expand JayWormNET’s functionality. There are two kinds of them: embedded and scripted. First written in Java and comes as plugins (Java classes), which can be embedded in distributive jar or injected via modifying of Java’s Classpath variable. The second kind of commands are written in JavaScript and can be updated and re-evaluated on-the-fly.
Standard set of embedded commands¶

Usage:
!say <some text>
Prints cool green message to the channel. Usage of this command can be restricted through changing of
specialMessagesPermissionLevel variable in the configuration.
