nbTeams:16-32 causes spads to crash about spads HOT 3 CLOSED

Yes, the first value after the setting name is the default value. So putting nbTeams:16-32 in SPADS conf actually makes nbTeams have 16-32 as initial value, which is not correct as nbTeams is supposed to be an integer. The integer range syntax x-y can only be used in the "other allowed values" part of settings declaration, i.e. after the pipe character (like in your fixed version).
I will make SPADS detect such invalid setting declarations at start to avoid confusion.
Thanks for the report.

I will wait for confirmation that your config files are fixed before deploying this new version on the unstable SPADS branch, as it would prevent instances having nbTeams:16-32 in their config files from starting.

Thank you, I updated the git configs, but it might take a day to propagate to all hosts (but at least 3 hours)
