UDP Socket Query

[xSkaSchY 0]

Hello Guys,

im currently working on a new server monitoring plus web interface for a linux dedicated server.

As soon it is possible i'll release a demo version.

At this point of work i have a problem while fetching some player informations via udp sockets.

Is it possible to get the player-id?

Any suggestions?

there no way of grabbing the player-id via a server query.

the only option is parsing the logfile.

hey jerry,

yes i currently use this way, but thats not the finest.

[jerryhopper 286]

if i might ask, what do you use for parsing the logs?

i have some unfinished python scripts that eventually would be part of a remote server tool.

Do you wrote your tool in python or maybe perl?

i write the GUI in PHP, and some scripts in bash, like start / stop.

For parsing i use php too. its a very powerful language.

by the way: the log file, server_console.log, r only up-to-date if the server restarts No live logs?

I'm very interresting to know what are commands you sent to the dedicated server to get players names and others infos, port query... etc...

are there theses informations somewhere ?

Thanks a lot

Here is a small sample:
