add extra monitoring helpers from fork

[BananaAcid]

I found these to be useful to monitor the status of the running servers:

Aeneas1@01e8c80
Aeneas1@cba08bb
Aeneas1@77c4d8c
Aeneas1@aedbd50

oh that is still WIP, but feel free to use what ever you like.
my plan is to replace the windows tasks cause a server with 5+ gameserver is not useble, with tasks running every 5min.

nice @Aeneas1

Had a similar thought about replacing tasks und using nssm for adding services (used it in another project as a cheap solution)

What were you thinking about being a solution @Aeneas1

@patrix87 How do you feel about changing / making it an option

[Aeneas1]

i will do it with the monitor thread.
the monitor will check if the a server is alive, need a update or what ever.
so only the monitor is running. then is only 1 windows task needed to check if the monitor is running.
i can try to improve the monitor in the next days.

At this point I was thinking about rewritting the whole thing in C# as an application with a single task-scheduler task to check if it's still alive. That application would take care of monitoring everything.

I clearly don't have the time for that right now though.

If you do, let a C# service handle the chron jobs, don't use the scheduler.
