Cam reset

Hello ! I noticed my cam had been sending the same pic all day, even though the clock was
showing the correct time. A simple "use cam" click-off and on again cured it. Would it be
useful to have a reset type html command to do this ?

If I knew more about windows processed I probably could do this by running a script,
at least to kill the logisphere program and restart it.

BTW, If i go to external commands, click new, and then delete, I get an error. After doing this
I think the "new"/"delete" boxes aren't greyed out as they used to be..

Unfortunately this is not as simple as it looks.
The web threads run in a different context - so the checkboxes are not available to the web server.

I had the idea of detecting picture changes, and if the picture (before the caption) remains the same
for a selectable period, the cam is restarted.

Might be implemented later...

From versions 0.9.4 and up the SelfCheck feature takes care of that.

SelfCheck makes sure the Web Server remains open and accessible,
the camera delivers fresh pictures. If not, services will be restarted.
