checklist <zone> [modifiers] [filter <severity>]
checklist checks
checklist severity

This attempts to find various errors in the objects belonging to <zone>, both cosmetic (like nasty colours) and problem-inducing (referencing non-existant objects). If you supply all instead of a specific zone, every zone in the mud will be checked. Be warned; this can take some time! You can also supply public instead of a specific zone, which will check all zones that are not flagged Personal or Private.

The modifiers argument can contain a list of checks (you can see which checks are available using checklist checks) with + or - prefixed to them to add or remove checks to perform. The first entry in the modifier argument can be -all which will turn off all checks.

The filter argument should be a severity level (which you can list using checkobject severity), and all failing checks with a lower severity than the filter will be hidden.

You can run some commands whilst checklist is running in the background, but don't expect them to work instantly. You can use the abort command to tell checklist to stop running ASAP.

For example, to turn off tell checking:
>checklist template -tells
To only do syntax checks:
>checklist template -all +syntax
To show only the most potentially serious problems:
>checklist zoo filter critical

Because checklist can take a very long time to run, you can use the recheck command to only check the objects that had issues found during your last checklist run without checking any others.
