=== 0^ACCEPT^Set a filter to accept something
A sysop can clear an input or normal output filter for a user or the
node_default or user_default.
+=== 6^CLEAR/DUPEFILE^Clear out the dupefile completely
+The system maintains a list of duplicate announces and spots (amongst many
+other things). Sometimes this file gets corrupted during operation
+(although not very often). This command will remove the file and start
+again from scratch.
+
+Try this if you get several duplicate DX Spots, one after another.
+
+Please ONLY use this command if you have a problem. And then only once.
+If it does not cure your problem, then repeating the command won't help.
+Get onto the dxspider-support list and let us try to help.
+
+If you use this command frequently then you will cause other people, as
+well as yourself, a lot of problems with duplicates.
+
=== 0^CLEAR/ROUTE [1|all]^Clear a route filter line
This command allows you to clear (remove) a line in a route filter or to
remove the whole filter.

necessary to traverse the network(s) to logon to the cluster <callsign>.
+=== 5^CREATE/USER <callsign> ...^Create this user from the User Database
+This command will create one or more new users. None of the fields
+like name, qth etc will be filled in. It is just a new entry in the user
+database to which one can add more stuff like SET/PASSWORD or by SPOOF.
+
=== 9^DELETE/USDB <callsign> ...^Delete this user from the US State Database
This command will completely remove a one or more callsigns
from the US States database.

=== 9^LOAD/FORWARD^Reload the msg forwarding routing table
Reload the /spider/msg/forward.pl file if you have changed it
Use with extreme care. This command may well be superceded by FILTERing.
+This command will also stop TALK and ANNOUNCE/FULL from any user marked
+as a BADSPOTTER.
+
=== 8^SET/BADWORD <word>..^Stop things with this word being propagated
=== 8^UNSET/BADWORD <word>..^Propagate things with this word again

the languages available are en (English), de (German), es (Spanish),
Czech (cz), French (fr), Portuguese (pt), Italian (it) and nl (Dutch).
+=== 5^SET/LOCAL_NODE^Add node to the local_node group
+=== 5^UNSET/LOCAL_NODE^Remove node from the local_node group
+The 'local_node' group is a group of nodes that you want a user
+to perceive as effectively one big node. At the moment, this extends
+only to announcing whenever a user is logging in or out of one of
+the nodes in the group (if those users have SET/LOGININFO).
+
+The local node group is as setup on this node. If you want the other
+nodes to also include this node and all the other nodes specified, then
+you must get those nodes to also run this command (or rcmd them to do
+so).
+
+In principle, therefore, each node determines its own local node group
+and these can overlap with other nodes' views.
+
=== 0^SET/LOCATION <lat & long>^Set your latitude and longitude
=== 9^SET/SYS_LOCATION <lat & long>^Set your cluster latitude and longitude
In order to get accurate headings and such like you must tell the system

-=== 5^SET/SPIDER <call> [<call>..]^Make the callsign an DXSpider node
-Tell the system that the call(s) are to be treated as DXSpider node and
-fed new style DX Protocol rather normal user commands.
+ %C - callsign [which will have ( and ) around it if not here]
+ %D - date
+ %T - time
+ %M - cluster 'mycall'
+
+The standard prompt is defined as:

+=== 6^SET/STARTUP <call>^Create a user startup script
+=== 0^SET/STARTUP^Create your own startup script
+Create a startup script of DXSpider commands which will be executed
+everytime that you login into this node. You can only input the whole
+script afresh, it is not possible to 'edit' it. Inputting a new script is
+just like typing in a message using SEND. To finish inputting type: /EX
+on a newline, to abandon the script type: /ABORT.
+
+You may find the (curiously named) command BLANK useful to break
+up the output. If you simply want a blank line, it is easier to
+input one or more spaces and press the <return> key.
+
+See UNSET/STARTUP to remove a script.
+
+=== 6^UNSET/STARTUP <call>^Remove a user startup script
+=== 0^UNSET/STARTUP^Remove your own startup script
+You can remove your startup script with UNSET/STARTUP.
+

for more information.
+=== 0^SHOW/BANDS [band|region names]^Show the list of bands and regions
+Display the bands and regions (collections of bands) known to
+the system. If you supply band or region names to SHOW/BANDS,
+the command will display just those bands or regions, e.g.:
+
+ sh/band
+ sh/band 2m hf
+
+=== 0^SHOW/BUDDY^Show your list of buddies
+See SET/BUDDY for more information about buddies.
+
=== 0^SHOW/CHAT [<group>] [<lines>]^Show any chat or conferencing
This command allows you to see any chat or conferencing that has
occurred whilst you were away. SHOW/CHAT on its own will show data for
all groups. If you use a group name then it will show only chat for
that group.
+=== 9^SHOW/CMD_CACHE [pattern]^Show the real source path of commands
+It is possible in DXSpider to define local versions of commands.
+Sometimes one forgets that one has these. This command will show you
+the source path where the node is getting each one of its commands.
+
+If you find a local command that you don't want then then simply
+delete it, run LOAD/CMD_CACHE to clear out the command cache and
+try again. You will now be using the standard version.
+
+If you are looking for information on a specific command then
+just add a string, eg:
+
+ sh/cmd dx
+
+might give you:
+
+ Command Path
+ set/dxgrid /spider/cmd/set/dxgrid.pl
+ sh/dx /spider/cmd/show/dx.pl
+
=== 0^SHOW/CONFIGURATION [<node>]^Show all the nodes and users visible
This command allows you to see all the users that can be seen
and the nodes to which they are connected.
You can also use this with the 'by' keyword so
eg by W dxcc

+ real or rt - Format the output the same as for real time spots. The
formats are deliberately different (so you can tell
one sort from the other). This is useful for some
logging programs that can't cope with normal sh/dx
output. An alias of SHOW/FDX is available.
+ filter - Filter the spots, before output, with the user's
+ spot filter. An alias of SHOW/MYDX is available.
+
+ zone <zones> - look for spots in the cq zone (or zones) specified.
+ zones are numbers separated by commas.
+
+ by_zone <zones> - look for spots spotted by people in the cq zone
+ specified.
+
+ itu <itus> - look for spots in the itu zone (or zones) specified
+ itu zones are numbers separated by commas.
+
+ by_itu <itus> - look for spots spotted by people in the itu zone
+ specified.
+
+ state <list> - look for spots in the US state (or states) specified
+ The list is two letter state codes separated by commas.
+
+ by_state <list> - look for spots spotted by people in the US state
+ specified.
+
e.g.
SH/DX 9m0
SH/DX qra jn86
SH/DX dxcc oq2
SH/DX dxcc oq2 by w dxcc
+ SH/DX zone 4,5,6
+ SH/DX by_zone 4,5,6

=== 0^SHOW/DXCC <prefix>^Interrogate the spot database by country
This command takes the <prefix> (which can be a full or partial
Show the contents of all the filters that are set. This command displays
all the filters set - for all the various categories.
+=== 0^SHOW/GRAYLINE [ndays] [<prefix>|<callsign>]^Show Civil dawn/dusk times
+This command is very similar to SHOW/SUN except that it shows the
+start and end of "Official" or "Civil" Dawn and Dusk. This is defined
+as when the Sun is 6 degrees below the horizon.
+
+If you don't specify any prefixes or callsigns, it will show the
+times for your QTH (assuming you have set it with either SET/LOCATION
+or SET/QRA), together with the current azimuth and elevation.
+
+If all else fails it will show the civil dawn and dusk times for
+the node that you are connected to.
+
+For example:-
+
+ SH/GRAYLINE
+ SH/GRAYLINE G1TLH W5UN
+
+You can also use this command to see into the past or the future, so
+if you want to see yesterday's times then do:-
+
+ SH/GRAYLINE -1
+
+or in three days time:-
+
+ SH/GRAYLINE +3 W9
+
+Upto 366 days can be checked both in the past and in the future.
+
+Please note that the times are given as the UT times of the requested
+UT day.

=== 0^SHOW/HFSTATS [days] [date]^Show the HF DX Statistics
Show the HF DX spots breakdown by band for the last <days> no of days
(default is 31), starting from a <date> (default: today).
should be noted that the figures will probably not be very useful, nor
terrible accurate, but it is included for completeness.
+=== 0^SHOW/MYDX^Show the DX data filtered with your spot filter.
+SHOW/DX potentially shows all the spots available in the system. Using
+SHOW/MYDX will, instead, filter the availble spots using any spot filter
+that you have set, first.
+
+This command, together with ACCEPT/SPOT or REJECT/SPOT, will allow
+you to customise the spots that you receive.
+
+So if you have said: ACC/SPOT on hf
+
+Doing a SHOW/MYDX will now only, ever, show HF spots. All the other
+options on SH/DX can still be used.
+
=== 0^SHOW/NEWCONFIGURATION [<node>]^Show all the nodes and users visible
This command allows you to see all the users that can be seen
and the nodes to which they are connected.
