You can 'roll your own' shutdown script that includes cli commands to send whatever players you want onto whatever server you want. Fetching them back when the master server wakes up will involve a similar custom script with cli commands. This is very doable now. You just have to write the scripts. What OS do you intend to run on the new server?
I should say, however, that I'm not entirely sure that the TinySC built into the touch will be able to serve as a SBS for other players. If you've heard otherwise, you are better informed than I am. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70206 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
