Some other good ideas:

- Use descriptive titles on your subject.
- Use correct grammar.
- Explain what, exactly, it is that you're requesting.

and WHY would you want a GUI for running a server since if you had a GUI you wold not be able to run it in the background.

Unless....

There was a GUI that launched a server in the background.

But I still see no need for one as its one command line with a few variables.

Haha I was gonna just say google but I thought I would spend 2 seconds to make it a little easier. :P

And I agree with KnacK I don't see a HUGE need for this.

Maybe an advanced rcon client instead?  Have it so when it was launched on the same PC as the server, it could connect directly with the server?

When I had the SnowSTORM servers up, we wrote a WebMin plugin to control the DP and CS servers.  It was great.

Havign a local control panel that could contro la remote server via rcon would be nice, but you stil lhave to launch the server initially.

Maybe a button to start the server?  Like a shortcut.

too lazy to google? that is a bit extreme. especially with modern browsers that have search bars built-in right up above.
but you wanted a direct link? try this (http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3AGUI).
