  So basically you want to be able to close / reopen  the server remotely? (I'm assuming you have no means to do it manually)

  Actually we talked about that as the emergency fall back, but ideally I don't want to have to close the server, I just want to be able to close a session running on it from the server or manage the permissions of my account in any running game. Closing it remotely or locally would be the last resort, but I want to force a close of a game in progress, with the option to Save that game when doing so.

  The problem with that is security. Even if it is your server you should not be able to save a game you are not the DM of (because then the server owner as a player could "cheat" by saving the game, loading it into another server and look at everything in dm mode while the other game is in progress).
  
  What can be done however is to be able from the client "join server list" to "reset" the server as it was opened anew (this is, it doesn't really close, but gets back to a state where it has an empty game where you are the dm). Would that be good enough?

  None of us would never dream of cheating (where would be the fun in that :-) ) but I can see how it could be a problem in the wider context!
  
  
  Yes, that solution would work
