Slate asked me if I could make a small program to return false if there are players on the server, and true if there are no players on the server. Sharing it in case it is useful for anyone else.

d/l hlsw, input ip:port, look at screen, done?

1.) hlsw is a closed source piece of shit
2.) how on earth are you supposed to programmatically get output for stuff like cron jobs/etc with hlsw
3.) isn’t hlsw winsuck only?

1) Is it now? Works like a treat for me, and I’m retarded.
2) Yes?
3) No idea

Still has a box which displays the players on any server you know the ip:port for, so it will do the job and lots of others too.

Yes Ghosty, see answer No. 1 above.

I have no idea what you’re talking about tbh, “Check if there are no players on server” is the title and I can do exactly that by placing the ip:port into hlsw and looking in a box to see if any players are connected.

That is all I wanted to point out.

Acting in a cron job isn’t anything I’ve ever needed to do and quite frankly, it sounds very rude.

(P.S. Nice…ermmm…reply?)
