Subject: checkpoint notification

due to the fact that I have the server checkpointing frequently (2
hours, while we are still small, and due to the fact that we are changing a 
lot, and the machine could be shut off by virtually anybody) I was thinking it
would be nice to tell everybody when the server checkpoints, such as printing a
message:   **********SERVER CHECKPOINTING*********   to everybody....but I am
at loss as to where I would put this, or where I would even begin... 
Basically, what is it that keeps track of the dump_interval, or where should I
begin looking?

Sorry, but there's no way to do this from inside the MOO database.  You could
do it as a server mod, but that's more work...
