At the start of this file there must be a line starting Conference: followed by the name of the conference to post the message in and a line starting Subject: containing the subject for the message. There can also optionally be a line starting To: and followed by a person you wish the message to be directed to. lubbs -q Logs onto LuBBs quietly without displaying how many new messages you have in each conference. lubbs -w This list the users currently on LuBBs without the need to log onto LuBBs, the output is the same as for the sers command available from within LuBBs.
