Shutdown without exit and Server restart

[Vanyel 34]

We seriously need a 'Shutdown server' button that does NOT close the entire server gui, and a 'Restart Server' button that shuts down and re-launches the currently running server, so we can do faster restarts or switching of databases.

 

Sometimes we only change one small line in a mod's .properties file and need to restart - seems silly to have to close the entire gui and reload it...

 

Other times, we might be working on several servers getting ready to launch a cluster, but just need to be able to quickly switch between servers...

 

I posted this to the 'Server Issues' forum, because we don't have a WU general Suggestion/Ideas forum (hint, hint, ;p), and because this lack of functionality *IS* a server issue.

 

Please oh wonderful code-god Devs, PLEASE add these functions to the gui.

 

Many thanks for the wonderful work

I wholeheartedly agree! (And while we're at it, make sure there are equivalent linux commands for the headless server. )
