I finally began work on RSE (a program I announced a while ago). Although progress is moving slowly as I am also working on HE. I am planning on developing it in the mindset that it will be used for launching game servers/services on Windows Based Machines. I will be giving the option to use a default settings file tuned to Game Server Host’s, as well as a PHP web interface. Although the program can be used in almost anyway to manage a remote server it will be built with Game Servers in mind.
Basically there will be two ways to use it, a telnet interface, and a web interface. The web interface will (initially) only support game server related commands such as launching and closing programs, as well as, editing simple files (config files?). The telnet interface will require you to know the commands (such as boot->app->args). You will be able to manage almost any aspect of the server computer form this interface. Many of the commands you know from ServConv will also be used in the Telnet interface. I may not include “closeUnneededPrograms” because it would be a little dangerous to run that command if you do not have a visual of how the server will respond to it.
