Hi, Samuli!

We use it to disable/enable and monitor user/workstation/branch office groups.
One VPN service on VPN concentrator related to 5-30 VPN "users", total to one
VPNc ~ 100-300, total to company workstation uses VPN direct or indirect ~
1400. Disconnection use for routine maintenance (synchronization/exchange of
application/corporate databases "into night" =) or urgently needed, and yet
etc).

I can of course write a control of each user but so far there was no such
purpose. I also can write to show tail of any service log in runtime. 
That's why I'm asking if there is an interest in development.
