I would like Adium to quit without prompting the user for confirmation when a system shut down or restart command is issued. Is there a way to do this and still retain the confirmation when Quit Adium is called via the menu or shortcut?

Go to the preferences.
Go to the "Advanced" tab.
Go to "Status".
You should see a "Quit Confirmation" section in there. Disable "Confirm before quitting Adium" or adjust the other settings below it, to fit your needs.

Thanks for the suggestion cruciarius.

This does work but it has a bad side effect. If I accidentally press cmd-q instead of cmd-w to switch active windows I lose all conversations. I'm trying to determine if there is a way of configuring two different ways of quitting the application. One for user initiated quit and one for OS shutdown initiated. The first should honor the current setting defined above but the second would not.

If this is not currently an option then I will submit it as a feature request.

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html ... /8564.html provides a way of reassigning Quit Adium to be a different shortcut but I have found that it's not always honored.

So if you don't want to accidentally quit Adium, while conversations are open:

Go to the preferences.
Go to the "Advanced" tab.
Go to "Status".

Enable "Confirm before quitting Adium"
Select "Only when..."
Select "There are open chat windows"

I also recommend the "File transfers are in progress" and "There are unread messages" options. Doing so would mean that if a chat window is open or file transfers are going on, Adium will confirm quitting. If no chat windows are open and no file transfers are going on, then Adium will quit, when asked.
