The kids are into MineCraft game lately. They like to play each other on the home network using MineCraft's server software (java).
Right now the MineCraft server is running on a desktop, which is rather inconvenient because it sucks up 50% of the CPU (3.13 Core 2 Duo) while in play. When no one is using the game, it takes about 2% of the CPU.
Would like to move the game server software to my home server w/3.0 Athlon II cpu to free up the desktop. The game server will not be hosting anyone from the internet.
Have a few questions:
1) How can an application (such as the game server program) on the WHS '11 server be started/stopped without actually signing onto the Console?
2) Will this change impact video/music streaming?
