[EVENTS] [WORD MATCHING] Remotely shut down Trillian

[Clone53421]

I searched and didn't find anything resembling this... I was thinking a command to shut down Trillian remotely. Since AIM usernames can be signed on in multiple locations, it could be a problem to have Trillian be signed onto the AIM client on another computer, either because someone else could read your messages or just because you'd have a bunch of windows to come back to.

What I was thinking would be a command, like /shutdown or /logoff, that would ONLY work if received by Trillian TO an aim screen name FROM that *same* screen name. That way, you could send a message from one location to Trillian at another location, shutting it down or logging it off. And you wouldn't have to worry about someone else crashing Trillian, since they would have to be able to sign on with your AIM screen name to do so.

It's somewhat possible with Word Matching in Trillian Pro 2.0. I don't think there's a way to make sure it only comes from one screenname, but pick a good "password" and you'll probably be all set. I've been doing it for a while and no one has been able to take advantage of it.
