Issue hasn't been assigned a status value.

As of the latest beta version, client-side commands such as .profile or .reboot no longer seem to be working—either by being called via code or by clicking on them in the Options & Messages > Server dropdown menu.

// Quick snippet to check it programmatically.
client/verb/Profile()
    winset(src, null, list("command" = ".profile"))
    winset(src, null, list("command" = ".host"))
    winset(src, null, list("command" = ".reboot"))
    winset(src, null, list("command" = ".screenshot"))
    winset(src, null, list("command" = ".screenshot auto"))

The issue does not occur in 516.1652.

Most of these are intentional, except for the fact of not working from Options & Messages, which is definitely wrong. The .reboot one probably makes less sense to have disabled from the server, so I'll look into that especially.

The screenshot commands aren't intended to be initiated by the server or a winset. For .host and .profile, I don't see a use case for allowing that but if you can think of an exception I'm open-minded to re-enabling those.

In any case all of these ought to work from O&M so that's something I need to change.
