I currently have a small JOptionPane that opens when the server runs. It says some "arent u clever for starting the server" message and has a button to "Shotdown the server". You press it, it ends.
The problem is I tend to feel 'instinctivly' that I can now close the command window (which obviously I cannot). Its like this window is the program, rather than a nice little warning. Especially when I leave the computer and come back 6 hours later. I keep killing the server without meaning to.
Im now 99% leaning towards removing the little option and just having a text message in the cmd window, and the user just presses CTRL-C.
Its crude and yet it feels more .... serverish
Hell thats how I close my home servers. And this ranks alongside them for crude. Anyone think the guy assessing this iis gonna have a stick up his butt over this?
