busy

Usage: set busy string

Sets your "busy" string. When your busy string is set and people tell something to you, they will get your busy string as a response. Your busy string (if on) will also be displayed right below your name when someone "fingers" you.

NOTE: Your busy string can be no longer that 45 characters.

Examples of busy strings you might use are:

set busy is really busy right now.

set busy will be back in 5 minutes.

set busy will be idle for a while...

Typing any command cancels your "busy" status; you don't have to clear it yourself.

It is useful to use an alias for your busy string, if you intend to use it frequently. For example: alias idle set busy is away from the keyboard right now would set your busy string to "is away from the keyboard right now".
