You'd think with all the service Robustification this would be done. Other than the console there's no obvious reason you shouldn't be able to start opensim as a background process. I'd argued a while back for an XMLRPC based "console" but that got shot down pretty quickly by a few folks, though there were a few that liked the idea. IMO the missing piece is a replacement for the console that uses a secure-able protocol. Then the "console" could be in a seperate process and accessed when needed rather than running all the time.
Given the long term rules about access to client sources and restrictions on contributions I can't do this but it shouldn't be hard to do. Maybe consider this a feature request for a future release... Mike On Tue, 2011-05-10 at 14:55 +0200, Lino Figueroa wrote: > Not so difficult. > > For Linux only: "screen Opensim........".
