  34 <PRE>Hi,
  35
  36 The documentation for OS AKILL is wrong, specifically:
  37
  38 [09:07:31] -OperServ (<A HREF="http://lists.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">services at chatspike.net</A>)- Optionally, an expiry
  39 time can be given with the AKILL ADD
  40 [09:07:31] -OperServ (<A HREF="http://lists.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">services at chatspike.net</A>)- command. The expiry
  41 time precedes the <A HREF="http://lists.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">user at host</A> mask, and
  42 [09:07:31] -OperServ (<A HREF="http://lists.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">services at chatspike.net</A>)- is specified as an
  43 integer followed by one of d (days),
  44 [09:07:31] -OperServ (<A HREF="http://lists.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">services at chatspike.net</A>)- h (hours), or m
  45 (minutes). Combinations (such as 1h30m)
  46 [09:07:31] -OperServ (<A HREF="http://lists.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">services at chatspike.net</A>)- are also permitted. If
  47 a unit specifier is not included,
  48 [09:07:31] -OperServ (<A HREF="http://lists.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">services at chatspike.net</A>)- the default is days (so
  49 +30 by itself means 30 days). To
  50 [09:07:32] -OperServ (<A HREF="http://lists.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">services at chatspike.net</A>)- add an AKILL which does
  51 not expire, use +0. If the
  52 [09:07:32] -OperServ (<A HREF="http://lists.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">services at chatspike.net</A>)- usermask to be added
  53 starts with a +, an expiry time must
  54 [09:07:32] -OperServ (<A HREF="http://lists.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">services at chatspike.net</A>)- be given, even if it is
  55 the same as the default.
  56
  57 It does not mention that 's' (seconds) can also be used, which is the
  58 case both from testing, confirmed in the source by looking at misc.c's
  59 dotime() which do_maskdata_add() (called by akill add) uses.
