All you're doing is counting the number of players by parsing the log, no? Why not just use the built-in LUA scripting to simply check if(games.players.length == 1) { game.pause(); } else { game.unpause() }

Parsing the log seems like such a ghetto hack.. Why not just have the client do the pausing/unpausing directly from the game?

EDIT: And by 'client' I mean the 'dedicated server'

Dude... One copper plate creates two (2) copper cable. EC requires 3 cables. One is left over. You can't use half a plate
