The user guide is in line with v0.98 (aka lisabeta) of ymusk.
These commands can be either be called from the input input window, or used in a configuration file.
| /eval expression |
|
Evaluate the Perl expression and print its result in the output window (the output is not sent to the mush). The expression is evaluated in teh script's namespace, which is a nifty hacking backdoor. /eval 1 + 2/3 # a kick'n'dirty calculator |
| /help [ command ] |
|

|
Gives argument list of /command. For more details, use /help. /usage end /usage margin |
| /bind <key> = command |
|
Bind <key> to command in the input window. See Perl/tk documentation for details on key binding Two functions of ymusk are really, really useful for command: &type and &send. The difference is that &type is preprocessed by ymusk (so recognize /commands and the like) while &send send the string directly to the mush server. Unless you want to do some black magic, use &type. /bind <F1> = &type( "@mail" ) |
| /cursor color |
|
Set the cursor's color. /cursor blue |
| /do file |
|
Executes file as if entered by the user in the input window, line by line. /do myscript.txt |

| /disconnect |
Disconnect from the current host.
/disconnect |
| /margin offset |
|
Set the left margin of wrapped lines. Offset is in pixel. It can be an absolute value or can be relative to the current offset. Also, see <Ctl-minus> and <Ctl-equal>. /margin 20 # set margin to 20 pixels /margin +10 # increase margin of 10 pixels |
| /paragraph offset |
Set the spacing between paragraphs. It can be an absolute value or be
relative to the current spacing. Also, see <Ctl-underscore> and
<Ctl-plus>.
/paragraph 10 /paragraph +5 |
| /tag tag = ( -option => -value ) |
|
Redefine the text tag tag. To know the tags already recognized by ymusk, you can do Of course, new tags can be added to fit any particular need. if you want to such a thing, do peek at Hooks.pm. |
| /log [ off | logfile ] |
|
Log mush output to logfile. If logfile doesn't exist, it is created. If it does exist, the log is appended to the file. If the parameter off is given, ymusk stops to log. If no parameter is passed, the current log file is returned. /log /home/yanick/ymusk/log/suns.log |
| /eliza [ on ] |

Generate a random pickup line for your character. Those pickup lines can be obscene, raunchy, offensive and/or nonsensical. Furthermore, just to make things more dangerous, the pickup line will be emitted directly to the mush, so you will discover it at the same time as everybody else. In other words, if your character get lynched because of this command, don't put the blame on us. Require the Easy::Bone module. |

text arrive), more (after a page of information, display
a red 'more' at the top of the window and wait for the
user to press Also accessible through the Display menu.

By default, ymusk will look for configuration files and such things
at ~/ymusk/ymuskrc (for Unix systems) or
where_ymusk_is_installed\configuration for Windows systems.
The default ymusk directory can be changed by using the switch -ymuskdir when calling ymusk. E.g., ymusk -ymuskdir=/home/yanick/mush
If the file ymuskrc exists in the ymusk configuration directory, it will be read prior to execution. Each line is either empty, a comment or a command. Comment lines begin with a pound sign (#).
color attribute = color
Ymusk's colors can be defined in the configuration file. They are usually generated by ymusk itself, but can be changed by adventurous users.
mail_program = I<mail program> %
url_program = I<favorite browser> %
Used when an url or an email address is clicked in the output screen. The % is replaced by the address/url.
Ymusk commands found in the configuration file will be executed as if entered by the user.
Example ymuskrc:
# Fading Suns Mush /world yenz = saturn.planetmud.com 4996 yenz secret /world julia = saturn.planetmud.com 4996 julia secret /world sun = saturn.planetmud.com 4996 # Look'n'feel /margin 10 color background = #d915c9e3c9e3 color foreground = black /scroll auto url_program = aterm -e lynx % mail_program = aterm -e mutt % |
Also if a directory called log exists under the ymusk configuration directory, a log file would be automatically created there at each ymusk session.
