Allow the server console to receive commands especially in linux enviroments, this would help with scripting start/shutdown/save/status scripts.
Specific commands I would like to see; save, quit [time*], say [msg], kick [user], kickall, ban [user], unban [user], whitelist [add/remove/on**/off**] [user] [password]
*Assumes now if no time given (e.g. quit 30, stops the server in 30 seconds) **Also opens or closes the server to new users
For example My friend and I were designing a script to warn players of an impending server save and restart... but we learned that we could not issue commands to the server from console... which destroyed us warning players... It also makes it harder for admins to login via SSH and watch the server.
I would also like to suggest that we log player chat to console & not log the rain collection in barrels as often.. Perhaps even log the chat to log files that can be parsed by shell scripts.
