[Opensim-dev] Cleanup of agents who are falsely indicated as being online

[Bo]

Hello and thank you for the reply.

In my case when i delete the entry it notifies the online users. Anyway even 
if it would not notify online users delete entries older than 10 minutes could 
be great, because it has no problem to keep users with zero regionId for days 
now;-( 

This would at lest guarantee change of the status after next login. Wouldn't 
it?

Could i ask you a favor? Please, write your feedback to the Mantis
http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5704
so the one who will decide to fix it will have easier work.

Thank you, Bo
