Re: Graeme\'s Server Status Thread
Ive got a script on mine which compares the .trn files with the .2h files. There will always be a fresh .trn file due to timed hosting but if its more than 5 days newer than the latest .2h Ive received then I consider it dead.
Actually I dont use it so much for dead players as I do to look for dead games. With so many games running on my servers I had trouble keeping watch, and so many of them "ended" without the players taking it to the final screen so it would clear itself out.

Re: Graeme\'s Server Status Thread
I'd do exactly the same thing except for the fact that I'm running a Win98 machine and don't want to use Linux as it's my machine for playing old games that don't work under XP.

Re: Graeme\'s Server Status Thread
It should be possible to do the same thing with a batch file. Or it might take abit of programming (I tend to use basic for that)

Re: Graeme\'s Server Status Thread
My computer crashed last night, so I rebooted it and it should be good for a while now.
