Keep alive for websocket server

[obsoleszenz]

Currently the websocket server is getting shutdown if 0 clients are connected (after once there was a connection). For my project i want to have a deamon running the websocket server and another program only connecting every now and then to send some commands. But as the websocket server is shutting down after the client disconnects, this is not possible.

Am i overseeing something or is this usecase not intended?

If you need a daemon running the websocket server, why not just run https://github.com/intiface/intiface-engine? This is the CLI version of Buttplug basically, and it keeps the websocket alive by default for you.

(BTW, Intiface Central is just the GUI on top of Intiface Engine. Central is basically just an command line argument creator heh.)

I tried out intiface too, but the same thing happens. Only the first connection works properly, afterwards the mpsc channel is closed.

So here some log from intiface, but it's the same with using buttplug directly as a library:

[From now on now connection is possible anymore]

EDIT: Weiiird, i'm now using the master branch of buttplug-rs and the issue seems to be gone?

Closing as it's now working. Thanks :)
