fortune

Returns a fortune from the *nix fortune program.

errno <error number or code>

Returns the number of an errno code, or the errno code of a number.

spell <word>

Returns the result of passing <word> to aspell/ispell. The results shown are sorted from best to worst in terms of being a likely match for the spelling of <word>.

pid

Returns the current pid of the process for this Supybot.

call <command to call with any arguments>

Calls any command available on the system, and returns its output. Requires owner capability. Note that being restricted to owner, this command does not do any sanity checking on input/output. So it is up to you to make sure you don't run anything that will spamify your channel or that will bring your machine to its knees.


wtf [is] <something>

Returns wtf <something> is. 'wtf' is a nix command that first appeared in NetBSD 1.5. In mostnices, it's available in some sort of 'bsdgames' package.

crypt <password> [<salt>]

Returns the resulting of doing a crypt() on <password> If <salt> is not given, uses a random salt. If running on a glibc2 system, prepending '$1$' to your salt will cause crypt to return an MD5sum based crypt rather than the standard DES based crypt.

progstats

Returns various unix-y information on the running supybot process.

ping [--c <count>] [--i <interval>] [--t <ttl>] [--W <timeout>] <host or ip>

Sends an ICMP echo request to the specified host. The arguments correspond with those listed in ping(8). --c is limited to 10 packets or less (default is 5). --i is limited to 5 or less. --W is limited to 10 or less.
