I agree that the current "on screen" console is a very bad idea, but nowadays is the only way to manage "standard" opensim servers.<br><br>My suggestions are only for a quick and easy way to do it.<br><br>
Anyway i don't use Robust (nor Simian) for my grid and I control my servers using a custom region plugin...<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/5/10 Mike Chase <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mike.chase@alternatemetaverse.com">mike.chase@alternatemetaverse.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">You'd think with all the service Robustification this would be done.<br>
Other than the console there's no obvious reason you shouldn't be able<br>
to start opensim as a background process. I'd argued a while back for<br>
an XMLRPC based "console" but that got shot down pretty quickly by a few<br>
folks, though there were a few that liked the idea. IMO the missing<br>
piece is a replacement for the console that uses a secure-able protocol.<br>
Then the "console" could be in a seperate process and accessed when<br>
needed rather than running all the time.<br>
<br>
Given the long term rules about access to client sources and<br>
restrictions on contributions I can't do this but it shouldn't be hard<br>
to do. Maybe consider this a feature request for a future release...<br>
