User:Antony Fairport/Scripts/Sim Restart Notifier

A simple script that helps you know when a region has restarted and also what might have changed during the restart (a change of server generally seems to imply a manual restart; the same server but different server version.... well, that's obviously a server software change as part of a rolling restart.

To use it, just drop the script in a prim that's rezzed on the region you want to keep track of. Left as is the script will send you an IM when there's a restart. If you'd prefer that it sends you an email (that's my preference -- if I'm in-world while my region is restarting I can sometimes miss the object's IM but I never miss the email) just set the value of EMAIL_TO to the address you want the message sent to.

The message you get will look something like this:

Shackles has restarted.

Channel: Second Life RC LeTigre
Version: 13.01.14.269010 (Changed. Was 12.12.18.268345)
Host: sim9099.agni.lindenlab.com

Touching the prim the script is in will result in it whispering the last restart time in local.
