How do I tell people I'm not at the terminal?

If you want to leave the terminal, and want an automated response to be sent to anyone who zephyrs you, you can use zaway. Simply type zaway at your athena prompt, and walk away. Anyone who zephyrs you will get the following message:

I'm sorry, but I am currently away from the terminal and am not able to receive your message.

For more information on zaway -- for instance, how to send a zaway message to only one person, or how to send different messages to different people, read the zaway manpage (type man zaway at your athena prompt).
