| cygwin doesnt let me compile rom while rom's running...(rom's in use, of coursE) this doesnt happen under any nix i've used before, is there a way to get around having to shutdown the mud before i can compile?
is there a way to start rom.exe and have it running constantly with xp safely even over hardware reboots etc?
and the startup file...does it ever get used? it defaults to port 9000 whereas the mud is 4k
i had another question to ask but it slipped somewhere.. | | Top |

| Well, Cygin is not exactly Unix. :)
Try making a copy, like this:
cp rom.exe rom_copy.exe
cd ../area
../src/rom_copy
To start it over reboots, you need to have XP start it up on boot - I'm not using XP so I can't say for sure how to do it. I would do something like this to put it in the background:
../src/rom_copy &
The startup file will be used if you choose to use it. Read it to see what it does. eg.
./startup |

| i made a crontab and installed it and right now its:
0 * * * * /home/ben/Rom24/area/rom.exe &
i have edited the makefile to create the new rom.exe file inside area to accomodate this change...yet i get missing area.lst errors regardless of what i try. a trial of using the startup file produces "no such file" and a csh error.
whats missing? | | Top |

| | I think you need to run a shell script that cd's to the area directory and then runs ROM. Startup should do it, try running it standalone until you get that to work. |
