Synopsis:
back <back message>]
Description:
This command marks you as being "back". It is used to tell people that
you currently back paying attention to your screen. You might use it
after you have taken a nap, a shower, gotten some food. When you mark
yourself as back, your status bar will show remove the value of
STATUS_AWAY to reflect this; this is "(Away)" by default.
Examples:
To mark yourself away:
/back I'm here right now

Restrictions:
AWAY status (and messages) is only through the network once,
when it is first set. The implication of this is that, if the AWAY was
set during a netsplit, when the netsplit heals, the reconnecting servers
will not be aware of the AWAY status. Thus, anyone on those servers
using WHO or WHOIS will not know you are away. In addition, servers
will impose a limit to the length of the AWAY message; this is usually
80 characters; test it on your server to be certain.
