TGE Server Admin Software

Hello again. Here are the results of the past few days work on a server admin in C#. Previously we were launching servers via batch file after remote desktoping in. As things got more complex, this approaches limitations became obvious. Using this software, a single webpage can be loaded to quickly view server status, as well as update and restart the servers.

I must admit I am impressed with C#. In utility applications like this, where speed isn't a factor, the ease of development is a huge benefit. I was able to implement complex systems like XML and sockets in only a few hours. Perhapse it's time to look into XNA.

Features:
-XML based server list
-Automatically detects logical CPUs and starts each zone on it's own CPU
-Socket support to interface with PHP or other software
-SVN integration
-Auto crash recovery
-Redirects console output from each TGE process
-Option to auto start all servers on load

Graphical UI:


PHP interface:


I plan on releasing this as soon as it is in a more polished state. The biggest issue right now is TGE doesn't seem to want to respond to stdin commands. Without this functioning, you can't send commands to your processes.

Once I get stdin working, I will be adding support for realm wide messages (such as a server reboot notification). If anyone has C# experience or TGE stdin experience, please check out this post.
