First of all - thanks for implementing this. I do have a couple of ideas related to auto-rebooting:
1) Have the scry show the uptime for each server when using scry options that display info from all servers. This would allow for easier party planning, since if you log into a server & the boss you want is dead, you could check all servers for both a live boss, and enough time to complete the run. For lowbie leveling, it would also allow for better decision making as to which server to switch to when you get the server auto-reboot message, as you could see which other server(s) had enough time left to allow you to level there uninterrupted.
2) Have the script that starts the auto-reboot process check for number of players, as well as uptime of 12 hours or more. I'm thinking along the lines of if the number of players is less than 5-8, and the server has been up for longer than 12 hours, then initialize the auto-reboot sequence, with a failsafe that would force the reboot after say 14-16 hours irregardless of the player count on that server. I'm thinking that this would help prevent say a Hells party that bogged down toward the end of map two to not have to repeatedly vote to delay the reboot if the run goes longer than planned. Could go for any boss run as well in the same situation. It's really more of a convenience for the boss parties that hoped to get done before a reset, nothing big I guess.
