Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/3001

I am not always at the PC, but it would be a nice possibility to start/stop/monitor certain servers via Telegram. Telegram Bots offer the possibility to read out chats.
So also further persons could (re-)start servers from "on the way".

Further Information

An alarm function is already integrated in LinuxGSM. But I could not find an extended control.

Because you can read the chat of Telegram Bots, you could also implement the control of the servers.
Example:

Read out chat via URL https://api.telegram.org/botXXXXXXXXXX::XXXXXXXXXXXXX/getUpdates
filter important things (messageid, chatid, sender name, command)
(- maybe check server status and if command is possible (you can't stop an already stopped server)
send it to linux shell
inform on telegram (several ways - see below)

Since programming is not my strength, I can unfortunately only offer suggestions.

Inform on telegram:

Send info to user who wants to start/stop the server
Send info to a special groupid (for example a group with all server admins)

Maybe you can filter the permissions by sender name or ChatID.

I can try to provide more information if needed.

Implementation in the lgsm makes no sense at all for this as it would require the lgsm to be a 'server'. But in case you want a solution, feel free to test external tools like node-red.
