- Synopsis:
- load finger
-
- Description:
- This script provides a front-end to the Unix finger command. Finger is
- a service that can provide general information about a user from another
- site, such as his/her real name, when the person last logged in, etc.
- The alias has the following syntax:
-
- /finger [[-h] <nickname>] [[user]@full.hostname]
-
- If a nickname is specified, the script will try to figure out the user's
- address, and will finger it. It will finger @host if the -h switch is
- given. Alternately, an address or hostname may be given, as per the
- traditional Unix finger syntax.

- Other Notes:
- This script was originally written by Ian Frechette (Daemon). It has
- been revised for use with EPIC by Jeremy Nelson (hop), jnelson@acronet.net.
