Well, before the wheel is invented twice: I am planning a full client-menu for 
the streamdev-client, which is an almost exact copy of the main menu, but 
acts on the server (using commands like UPDT, MODT, and so on). With timers, 
this is already possible with 0.3.1, and 0.3.2 will contain the schedule (to 
set timers from the programme), too.

Greetings,
