The UTIL commands allow you to send commands through scripts. You can create scripts and set them to be run by users at various access levels. The scripts then can be run as if they were server commands and are available to whomever you set them to even if they execute commands that would normally be allowable only to server admins. The UTIL commands duplicate the functionality of various server commands because server commands cannot be included in scripts. UTIL is an Enterprise Edition feature, which can be added to the Professional or Developer versions with the inclusion of the Scribe module. See SCRIPT and EVENT for further information.
FIELD - Set fields on users.
FLASH - Send news flash messages.
NOTICE - Send notices.
SERVER - Server management commands.
SERVICES - Services management commands.
WEB - Web server management commands.
Example:
/as help util <command>
Util commands work exactly the same way as their respective server commands. They are simply designed to be useful for scripting. You can run a util command manually to get the feel for it though.
