The script watch.tcl watches users with the !watch command and
informs the caller when the user gets online or offline.
You can enable the !watch command for a specific channel by setting the
watch flag for the channel in your Eggdrop. For example, enable the script in
the channel #test with the following Eggdrop command:
.chanset #test +watch
Accordingly, you can disable the !watch command for a specific channel by
removing the watch flag from the channel in your Eggdrop. For example,
disable the script in the channel #test with the following Eggdrop command:
.chanset #test -watch
After enabling the script and the !watch command in a channel, you can use
the !watch command in that channel as shown below.
