Possible to disable public messages to the server during backup?

[mbreslin]

I have tried empty strings in both msm.conf and /opt/msm/servers/myserver/server.properties

ie: msm-message-world-backup-finished=""

Doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Thanks.

A little explanation first: MSM, currently, considers an empty string the same as not finding that setting at all, and then defaults to value set in the /etc/init.d/msm file itself.

You change the message to be a single space, which it might recognise, however, this would probably output "[server] " and look odd.

I think MSM really needs to be improved to support empty string settings, and in the case of messages, not even display anything if it is found to be empty.

Good to know. I would just prefer for non-ops not to see backup stuff. It's fine though. Great script you've made so far, thanks!
