It would be nice to have a separate text log file where all the
remote commands are logged and the "local sysop" - i.e. owner of the
node - can check and monitorate the RCMDs clearly.<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I suppose there is the "nuclear"
option of partitioning the network. Obviously I am (extremely)
loath to do this, and it would require some sort of "charter" or
agreement for cluster nodes / sysops to be agreed so that we can
create a regularly updated set of nodes with similar
configurations that agree to work together. I'm not (at all)
certain that such a partition would survive the users' voracious
need for spots, any spots - especially during contests. But
something needs to be done...<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Thanks Dirk for your courtesy: assuming you add code to allow
"remote control", at the moment we have another big problem
because inside our cluster network a very large number of spider
nodes are running a very old spider version... and unfortunately
I don't see a way to "force" the owners of that nodes to update
to the latest Spider's version.<br>

DXSpider was written because, in the 1990s (yes, it's been
going that long), there was a situation where anybody could
disconnect someone on another node, at any time. And there
was a (sub) command to do that disconnection "silently",
i.e. just as though the connection dropped. A sysop could
read another node's logs to see what someone "was up to" and
also interfere generally with that node as though he (and
all sysops were male) was in control. <br>
<br>
I make no apology for making that sort of thing difficult
-> nearly impossible. But I am open to adding code to
allow something more nuanced in the way of remote control.
But I am constantly aware that this could and, sadly, might
well be abused. <br>
