+URL. The url command provides a way for you
+to check if a URL has been posted before (if not, Servus posts it on

+/msg Servus url http://some.url
+Servus will either paste the URL into channel, or /msg you to tell you it was a duplicate. Although
+you can use this command in-channel (and get a response by /msg ), this is discouraged. Servus also
