[Mod] Kick all users on server shutdown [kickall]

[est31]

Installing this mod makes the server kick all players when it shuts down. This prevents users from continuing to build inside their local copy of the game.

The mod adds three commands:

/kickall <reason> kicks all players without the nokickall
/reallykickall <reason> kicks all players regardless of their nokickall priv
/kshutdown <reason> kicks all players without the nokickall and shuts down the server

The last command is to enable the server owner to give a reason to the kick. All three commands require the server priv to run.

See github readme for further information.

I would prefer the old screen freeze bug (or feature) but currently, this is a good way to prevent kids from building a house on an offline server.

Good idea, until this bug is fixed, of course:

It is currently kinda ugly how the Minetest client “manages” a server shutdown.

The mod on Krock's server which shows a formspec to the player that the server has shut down is very handy. It informs the player that the server is down, but you can still walk around, plan your actions for the next day, and take some last screenshots.
