The serverLogger.ls file is a simple server-side script example that keeps a log of the movies that connect to the Macromedia Shockwave Multiuser Server. It is easy to understand and provides a useful example of server-side scripting in action.

By adding the serverLogger.ls file to the Multiuser Server's Scripts folder and adding a reference to it to the server's scriptMap.ls file, you can keep a log file listing any movie that logs in to the server.
