I'd like my Linux server that runs SlimServer to shut down automatically at night if no players are currently playing. I mentioned this a while ago and someone pointed out that I could do this using the SlimServer CLI. I've now written a Perl script to do just this, so thought I'd post it to get some general comments. The script interrogates the cli to find out if any players are playing and, if not, displays a warning on each player before triggering a delayed shutdown of the server. It's designed to be cronned every day between a certain time range (midnight to 8am, for example).
I'd appreciate any comments on this script. Part of the reason for doing it was to refresh my very rusty Perl, so picky language points are very welcome! I haven't yet cronned this script myself, so caveat emptor!
