(Could prolly add an -a flag to disable/enable automatic checking.) I know it can be easily scripted with "sendkeys % $+ {H}{U}", but still. Opinions anyone? What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?

Would probably be best if Khaled added some kind of limitation to the amount of times it can be called (say once an hour or something) to relieve stress on the servers. Otherwise I can see people doing this: Code: on *:start: .timer 0 60 update

That would render mIRC pretty unusable. Oh trust me, some people WILL be doing this! And yes, it will render mIRC pretty unstable unless Khaled adds a limit for N times per hour to be able to execute the command.
