Re: [OpenVerse] signal to server to send a message?

[basile@virtual.dyc.edu]

As someone who used to run lots of Palace servers, let me say that this is
a very useful feature.  It is very annoying to have to start up a client
and go to many rooms announcing that the server is going down and will be
up shortly.  A stripped down OV client that would broadcast to all the
OpenVerse servers running on a box would eliminate this problem.  A small
config file could list the server ports to which the announcements should
be made.
