Well, I made my own version. (Specially for Pure_BY )

I think this is much simpler than jackasswanabe's, only three commands:

/xexit - Exit MSN Messenger completely.
/xexitr - Exit and then restart MSN Messenger
/xexitc - Close all conversation windows.

For /xexitr, the msnlaunch.exe (I programmed that file too, it's about 4 lines of code ) file needs to be in the plugin directory. Since that's the only way for me to relaunch MSN Messenger after it has shutdown (It launches after 3 secs, If launched earlier MSN Messenger sometimes doesn't start up properly.)

To install just copy both files to the plugin directory, then restart MSN Messenger or use a Plugin reloader.

jackasswanabe: I don't suppose I get to see your source now do I?

/xexit works fine (and closes only the current instance with polygamy, so )

/xexitr, can you make it possible so you can add an argument to it to the file that needs to be restarted? I ask this because I use my own little script to startup Messenger:
eg: /xexitr "c:\yaddayadda\msgplus & msnmsg.vbs"
of course, if nothing is added as argument, msnmsgr.exe should be started like it does now...

Last thing: You added the config-feature to the plugin, yet there is nothing to configure. So, maybe disable that, or put an about-box there when you press the config button...

EDIT: wait

OK I fixed that part, let me know if you find anything else. Just reinstall it again it will overwrite the dll.

hmm, now it just exits all running instances of messenger. (or is it supposed to be like that? i thought it should exit the one where you type the command in)
and this time i had to manually register the dll. no problem for me, but some other users might not know how to do it, or that they have to do it at all.

oh wow, now we already have 3 different plugins for the same function in this thread *goes to test the other ones too*

Segosa you win!

I conceed

ok next time im the first to make something

remind me to copywrite the idea

ill make millions

segosa:
very nice, also the functions are useful, but...
at first i thought it really did close the correct instance of msn, but it seems to close the one that was started first (istead of the newest one as matty's did)

Thats true, but others also had the idea, like me when I got the first Beta of Plus! i was like there is no exit command, and I didn't have enough spare time to actually make the plugin.

FurryD: I know, I was going to try get the parent window of the active conversation, but seeing as conversation windows don't seem to be treated as child windows, I don't think I can.

CookieRevised: I added what you want. If you specify a program after /xexitr, it will run that instead of MSN Messenger.

Matty: O_o

jackasswanabe: sorry man.

well, i just wanted to point it out. i normally only use one instance of msn messenger anyway, and for that it's just fine.
