Useful linux script when hosting PBEM.

Nice script. Id have to force a text mode but other than that it looks good.

Care to work on a project to create a linux web-page game-signup and starter?

I would like that very much also. But how can I do that? It seems to me that I can only run text-only mode when running a tcpserver (I would be glad to be corrected on this).

I might be interested, but is that not exactly what Mose Hansen's server is already?

Cheers,

Yes text mode applies to server. Its just my own quirk. I tend to seperate my stuff between GUI stuff (which I run on Windows XP) and server stuff (which I run on a pretty bare linux).

As to the game server thing, yes its what Mosehanson has done (and very well) but Im still interested in doing one of my own.

His kindof came from a programmer side. Top down. Answers all done in modules of a single programming code. System level answers were chosen Last, if at all.

Im more SysAdmin than programmer. Id like to do one system-up with programming answers chosen Last, if at all. Cant hurt to have 2 Versions. 3 actually if anyone tackles doing a Windows Version.
