Default Can I use \'postexec\' to run a Windows executable?

So the 'postexec CMD' command line switch tells Dom2 to execute a program after hosting, right? Will it work with a Windows executable?

Yes. Anything you can find and double-click to run can be called. Ive run batch files which copied games to backups, moved score.html to web dir, played a sound so I knew the turn was up (good for when you are hosting and playing so you know everyone got in and it hosted).

Ooh, nice. Thanks for the info. I'm toying with the idea of writing a GUI utility for server admins, primarily for auto-emailing players after hosting but there's potential for other stuff too, like setting up new games, etc..

Or does something like this already exist?
