iChat online on two computers at once
Authored by: CaptCosmic on Dec 04, '03 12:29:43PM
My solution for this annoying "feature" was to simply set up a cron task to take iChat offline every evening after I leave work. Add the following line to your crontab (crontab -e):

15 18 * * 1-5 osascript -e 'tell application "iChat" to set status to offline'

Now, iChat will be automatically taken offline every weekday afternoon at 6:15PM. Useful since i tend to forget to log it out when I leave for the day.
