Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
Its ALOT easier in Linux than in Windows (which is why Esben Mose Hansen's server is linux based).
For Windows, first learn how to open and use a Command Prompt window
then learn how to use notepad and create a file, rename it to a .bat file
then learn all of the things a bat file can do. It can kick off programs, display screens, play sounds or music or even speech.
the switches in dominions of --preexec and --postexec can be told to run your bat file (or any program) before (preexec) it hosts which is good for doing things like saving off backups, or after hosting (postexec) which is good for notifications.
As far as email notify the best I can do is this line....
start mailto:gandalf@community.internet?subject=notify^& body="Your turn is ready"
It pops up a little email window in the default mail program with all the info filled in, but you have to hit "send"

hmm, seeing as how the default email program is not the one I use I think it'd just be less of a hassal to just send manually. Thanks for the info, Gandalf. Though, I have no idea why you'd consider looking into this thread  |

If you use another (thunderbird, pegasus, eldora) you could look into whether it has command-line use capability.
As to looking in, its part of my job. From the main menu I do a "search" for all Posts for 1 day, display part of it. I scan thru all of the threads on all of the Boards to keep a feel for things. I just keep refreshing that page thru the day.

Hmmm if I didnt get paid for it, then it would be no life. 
Instead I get to say "I work for a game company".
It cant get much better than that can it?
