Shutting down a EQEmu server question

[kavren]

I'm playing around with an EQ server and I've got it installed with PEQ and running with a minilogin and everything is great. I was wondering, though, is there a gentle way to shutdown the EQ server other than "Ctrl+C"ing the command-line box's on the server hosting it?

In game, you can use the #worldshutdown command. You set a timer and the frequency that warnings will be displayed to everyone on the server as the countdown goes down. I normally use "#worldshutdown 300 30" and that gives a warning every 30 seconds and shuts down the server after 5 minutes.

Then, once the server is down, you can just close out of the windows. That is how I did it on windows. On linux, I use the #worldshutdown and then run the ./stop command to run the script that does the stop on the server to end the processes and clean up the log files.
