Server Events

Could this also be used to send messages on server events. For example when the server shuts down/crashes and when it comes back online?

Good question. Right now, this mod can't do that, but I think the mod could be extended to add some of those features.

Graceful server shutdowns are a maybe. I'd have to look in the minetest code to see if there is a hook that triggers when the server is shutting down.

Crashes are probably a no. Since the mod runs on the server, if the server has unexpectedly crashed, there's no server to run the mod so it's not really possible.

When the server starts, that's definitely a yes.

If it's robust crash detection you're looking for, Prometheus monitoring might be a better choice. https://wiki.minetest.net/Server_Metrics_using_Prometheus

Excellent! I think those would be very worthwhile additions. 🙂
