Is it possible to get bzfs (or bzadmin?) to send out an email when a server transitions from having zero players connected to having one or more players connected?
You can probably see what this is for: I host a server and want to know when someone is on so I can go and kill'em.
I could probably wangle something with bzadmin and perl, but if it's been done already ...
Email on Connect?

There are IRC bots that give some sort of server status depending upon the bot. You'd simply keep a certain channel open, and the bot would give occasional updates. It would be more efficient than email anyway, because email often gets delayed.
Now that I'm thinking of it, wasn't there a plugin to send chat messages back and forth between BZFlag and IRC? What ever happened to it?
