I've noticed from the usage logs that people have inded been using my e-mail notification utility to see who's on the servers. So I thought I ought to get it working properly again.

I appologize for the fact that this utility has not been working especially well of late, but the servers have been in a state of flux for a while and some without a status page. I have updated all of the scripts and the Java server to hit the new status pages, and everything works again.

For those who missed it the first time around, this is a utility that lets you get the status of the Academy servers by sending a blank e-mail to any of the following:

home-academy@sammckee.com will send you back a list of who's on the home server.

swk-academy@sammckee.com will send you back a list of who's on the swk server.

trainers-academy@sammckee.com will send you back a list of people with the [JAT] tag who are currently on the servers.

status-academy@sammckee.com will tell you how many people are on the home and SWK servers--not who, just a head count (a good one to use with text messaging on a cell phone where you get only 160 characters for a message).

And the coolest one, notify-academy@sammckee.com will send back a message if there's anyone else on, and if no one is on it will keep checking for half an hour and send a message if anyone logs on during that time. Additionally , if no one is on but two people have requested notification via this utility, it will send a message to both telling them that there's someone who wants to play.

Have you ever watched charismatic Christians change a light bulb? It takes 1 to actually change the light bulb and 10 others to pray against the spirit of darkness.

What's JAbot?

Yes, one could definitely write a script to display all the stats on a seperate home page.

All except the notify one are just PHP scripts.

The notify script is a little more complicated because a web server (well, mine anyway, and most providers) will not let you simply start up a program and let it run in the background for half an hour (I think mine lets a PHP process run for twenty seconds before shutting it down). So the notification utility is actually a Java program installed as an NT service on a box in my office at home. I'll post source code on my web page if you're interested.
