API for managed installs

Post by moiph »

This is a feature request I'd love to see implemented at some point -- having an API for managed servers to perform basic functions like start/stop/reboot a server.

My main scenario would be for server monitoring in case a restart is needed; rather than relying on the built in service that checks every 5 minutes for the server being offline, I can roll my own monitoring solution to kick a server back to life after 1-2 minutes. While it's a small detail, short downtime vs 5-10 minutes downtime can make a big difference in players rejoining a crashed server :)

As an added bonus for some encouragement here's what you'll look like after implementing the support for our use: 8)
