[Opensim-dev] server consoles

[Bowman, Mic]

I'm in the process of writing a wrapper for the console app that would
export a web interface for mgmt functions and would probably handle
liveness checks & periodic restarts. Nothing fancy, but it sparked some
thinking about the mgmt interface in general. Other than the current set
of console commands is there any documentation on what would be desired
from the mgmt interface?

Definetely.

I've been thinking along some kind of RPC structure myself - eg allowing

us to run various commands (eg terrain commands) via a web service. 
XMLRPC seems a good fit, although using remoting for it may not be a bad

idea since that lets us choose a variety of stream handlers.
