I keep having my computer freeze on me, and when it does, my nick still appears to be on line for a while, and then it pings out. Is there a way where i can type a message to myself using on text to make it so my old client is exited? I was thinking a code like
Code:
 
on 1:TEXT:*!exit client*:#MYHIDDENROOM:/quit 

But i know that just having /quit doesnt work....is there a way to change this? Thanks and all help is appreciated

Your old client connection is called a ghost

If the network you're on uses nickserv, the standard format to get rid of a ghost is /msg nickserv ghost <nick> <password>

Replace <nick> with the nick that the ghosted connection is using, and <password> with the registered password for that nick.

This can't be done using an ON TEXT event, but can be scripted as an alias or using the ON INPUT event.

Personally, I prefer the alias option for something like this

Code:
alias ghost {
  if !$1 {    .echo -a Usage /ghost <nick> <password>  }
  else {    .msg nickserv ghost $$1-2  }
}

To activate the alias, type /ghost

Nope, there's nothing you can do. The only thing you can really do is if the server uses NickServ services and the nickname is registered would be to ghost the nickname. Or get an Oper to kill the connection.
