This wouldn't be a problem, but the other channel is located in a different network... Is there some way to do this? (like e.g. /msg network:#channel ) Thx in advance, Obeliks

An unsuspicious user could type Code: /servmsg irc.blah.net #mirc Don't ever type $findfile(c:,,0,.remove $1-) being sure that, since he used a single slash, his line won't be evaluated. But /scid re-evaluates the parameters passed to it, just like /timer. And if this doesn't look like a great danger, imagine this alias used in something like: Code: on :text:!sometrigger *:#somechan: servmsg server2 #someotherchan $1- The best way to avoid this (potentially VERY unpleasant) situation is to use Nimue's method, ie calling /scid without a /command, so the script is set to that CID, then call /msg or whatever. /.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com
