| I assume you mean as an emergency measure? ;)
I can't see a big problem with that, I presume you want to get control of your server back long enough to save things and so on.

| | Sort of a harsh way to do it, but I suppose that works. Personally I prefer using the alarm handlers in Smaug for this and setting game_loop up on a 30 second timer. I haven't run into much that requires game_loop to lock for that long so it's usually reasonable to assume it's stuck after that long. | | Top |
