Dear Users,
I would like to program a script which writes me the status of the fields in an XML file. Is it possible to run this script on an FS server and then have the XML file created on the server? Can I start this script at a certain interval?

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, it is possible. However I don't know whether you can do. *g*
A certain knowledge and experience in FS LUA scripting is required.

In the initializing code you determine server/client and execute following code only if running on server.
For the timing you can either use the update() function with a 'countdown' or (more elegant) a system timer.
The XML file you create with the usual XML functions createXMLFile(), setXML..(), saveXMLFile() and delete() for cleanup.

You'll find code examples for all the stuff in Documentation - LUADOC.
