McDesktopInfo
With McDesktopInfo you can show information about your server live on your desktop. This package includes a bukkit server plugin and a Windows Sidebar gadget (The sidebar is only available in Windows Vista and 7). The plugin, once started, opens up a socket on a configurable port, that is used to exchange data with the gadget. When the socket gets a query to do something from the gadget it automatically processes this query by getting the queried data from the server and sending it back to the gadget.
Features
- Leightweight plugin that uses a socket to exchange data with the gadget
- Configurable Windows Sidebar gadget with multiple backgrounds
- Secure: No HTTP requests to the socket are able to get behind the plugin
- Use special admin functions directly from your desktop using a password system
- Kick players via the gadget
Features
- Servername
- Current / Max players
- Plugin version
- Craftbukkit version
- Playerlist
- Kicking players
- Used / total RAM
- Tickrate
- Chat history
I will NOT implement any queries that would harm the server in any way.
Instructions
TODO
- Gadget design overhaul
- Send chat messages from gadget
- Planned queries: CPU load, uptime (Feel free to suggest even more via Forum/Comments/PM)

Only if you are able to port the Windows Sidebar to MacOS.

Posted Apr 4, 2013Sorry for the problems with the update from yesterday, I forgot to take out my debugging edits what resulted in the settings not being saved properly. I just uploaded a fixed v0.4.9 that just needs approval again.

I just uploaded an updated that contains some fixes regarding the additions from v0.4.8. This may or may not fix your problems but at least disabling and rearranging queries is now possible. I didn't catch that it was bugged before I pushed 0.4.8...
Everyone who knows, how the file links are created should be able to get to the update (0.4.9), before it is approved (I won't put the link here because it was removed by a mod the last time I did that).

You shouldn't have replied! Now it's cursed!!
But seriously, I just checked it and with no users my tickrate is 40.0. From what I understand, this value is not valid.

Well that's the best thing that could've happened. Now we both know, we didn't make a mistake and everything's working properly. I'm happy to hear that.

All it took for it to start working was for me to post here claiming it wasn't. Seriously. I had not been working for days since I installed 0.4.8, but as soon as I complain it starts working.
Thanks again for your help.

Posted Apr 2, 2013My tickrate is always 0.0. Am I doing something wrong or is this dependent on something in bukkit 2733+?

Nevermind, it's set to be active by default.

You can activate automatic refreshing in the settings.

Posted Mar 28, 2013Please can you implement any kind of auto refresh so I do not need to press the button ? It is very annoying.

Posted Mar 28, 2013Thanks for the update. The missing RAM value issue is fixed, but the tickrate is always blank.

I'm running the official 1.5.1-0.1-dev which is 2691. I'd rather not move from that just yet because that is the build that everyone is compiling against.
I haven't touched the config, and the password is correct or I wouldn't get payer count and names. The field beside the RAM label is just blank. If it's not an issue in later builds, I will just wait for 1.5.1 beta.

I tested this with build #2706 and everything is working for me. Please make sure that you are using a correct password and the ram command is not disabled in the config.
