Idea to auto-"fix" server problems

[the_actual_God]

- Have a second (quite lame) computer continuedly (as in: every 5 mins or so) monitor this webadress which currently says:

Minecraft Crafter's Community
IP: 67.189.36.246:25565
0/20 players connected!

(Hint: Even though the server is currently down, I have seen "2/20" from time to time. Might be the people currently trying to log in.)

- When the player number has been below 4 for 10 minutes, make the server's hardware reboot. A more elegant way would be to have a software that uses a dummy slot and realizes when it has been disconnected and can't reconnect even though it has its reserved slot.

- Deactivate this mechanism while the server is intentionally down.

- Sleep well.

Nice idea! Could be hard to implement though

If the error msg was output to the mcadmin cmd chat window, then within the main program.cs of mcadmin one could create a function called by a 'keep_alive' toggle button in the gui that restarts or re-opens mcadmin once this unexpected java exception occurs.
