What just happened with the Vassal server? Everyone, playing a game, got kicked off. Then we could not access anything past the Vassal home page.
I rebooted the server for maintenance just now.
Just happened again. ATM only me though.
When the server is going to shutdown/reboot - is there any kind of message transmitted to ongoing Vassal games… I recall all of the old UNIX systems did this, IIRC starting about 1 hour in advance and getting more frequent as shut down time approached… If not, this would be a good thing to implement - allows people to save their games, take a bio, etc…
SERVER MESSAGE - Server rebooting in 60/30/5/1 minutes. <custom message - Admins estimate server will be down for 2 hours>
Agreed. There does need to be some sort of message sent, particularly to those playing games on the server.
There’s no way to send such a message at present. The V4 server will have that capability.
