To add a few comments:
I have found I've needed to restart the servers a few times. After a few weeks the game sometimes goes into la-la land. Killing the process and restarting works easy enough.

Excellent information. The commandline I gave was supposed to work according to illwinter tough I did have some problems with quick and set times. Mostly I think it was when I had to restart the script, I guess I messed up something in its awareness of a turn.
Im sorry I mentioned --preexec. The devs say its in but I cant find it. I havent actually tried it to see if its in and just not documented. That would be easy to do since it would be just a cut-n-paste of the --postexec routine.
The postie info is good to know. Are you able to do file attaches of turn files?
The need to restart after a time might be something that some of us have noticed about the connections not clearing themselves out. For some reason we seem to get a buildup of dead connections. The Last patch might have fixed that.
