[MC-9539] "kill" command still doesn't work from multiplayer server console

Ticket MC-797 was closed as resolved (along with many others as dups), but this is issue is definitely not resolved!

From the multiplayer server console:

Kill command is listed in the help:

help 3
...
2013-02-09 19:22:24 [INFO] --- Showing help page 3 of 5 (/help <page>) ---
2013-02-09 19:22:24 [INFO] /kill
...

Let's try the command:

/kill
2013-02-09 19:22:27 [INFO] You must specify which player you wish to perform this action on.

Okay, let's try specifying a user:

/kill kiloforce
2013-02-09 19:22:34 [INFO] You must specify which player you wish to perform this action on.

Found on both the 1.4.7 and 13w06a snapshots.

So either the kill command needs to be fixed (preferred), or it should be removed from the server console commands.

This is an annoying one, you can only use /kill on yourself. Most likely intended, but shouldn't be like that imo.

also /kill from the client only works for admins.

Please update the version, this still affects 1.5

Confirmed in 1.5pre

Confirmed in 1.5.1.

Confirmed in 1.5.2. Both console implying it should work with player parameter and only ops allowed to use in-game.

Fixed in 14w02c
