My senario is this
I have calibre server running a library on a FreeNAS server (within its own jail.) I have the management application installed on my laptop.
Normally the NAS server is running 24/7 and is accessable pretty much anywhere. When I need to add books or manage the library, I fire up the management software and do my thing. The problem is that I need to shutdown the calibre server on the NAS server first before I can make changes to the databases. It would be nice if the server could advertise itself and respond to start and stop commands automatically when the management software is up and running. 
I am not sure if this functionality already exists in Calibre and can be accessed via plugin development or would need changes to the server code directly. I am a programmer and I would love to take this on however my current commitments are pretty heavy. Feedback is welcome.
Cheers

You can run calibre-server.exe separately, via the command line. It will be its own process.
