Preliminary testing showed that this was exactly what I was looking
for.....
At home I can perfectly control my pidgin to do what I want.
Here at work, however, purple-remote tells me:
getafix:~/bitwizard/recover/ntfs> purple-remote quit
Introspect error: The name im.pidgin.purple.PurpleService was not provided by
any .service files
Traceback (most recent call last):

dbus_bindings.Connection.send_with_reply_and_block
dbus_bindings.DBusException: The name im.pidgin.purple.PurpleService was not

(I'm not interested in "quit": killall pidgin would work just as
good. this is the simplest command that I could find, giving me the
least amount of possibilities to screw up....)
I'm sorry, but I'm not able to find a .service file on the system that
works, so where should "im.pidgin.purple.PurpleService" be provided?
Roger.

Q: It doesn't work. A: Look buddy, doesn't work is an ambiguous statement.
Does it sit on the couch all day? Is it unemployed? Please be specific!
