Well, I was referring to the pieces of programming that people were suggesting as insertions or replacements.

All source files are in src. What exactly are you having trouble finding?

Well, I need to know how to get the mud to reboot itself upon a shutdown.

A shutdown? Or a reboot?

A reboot. When I reboot the mud right now, it shuts it down, just as if I had typed: shutdown mud now

But I am typing: reboot mud now

How are you starting the MUD up?

You should be running the startup script using nohup, as mentioned here earlier.

THat is what I am asking, in which file, do I need to place the nohup? I am no coder as far as smaug goes.

Why would using nohup matter? I mean, yes, it's meant to "run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty" but that really shouldn't make a difference if he's using cygwin or still logged in to his shell as long as he's running the startup script and using the reboot command rather than the shutdown command. What seems more likely to me would be that his startup script is not getting the right exit level for the reboot so it's just doing a shutdown instead or that the startup script itself is broken, of course in the three pages so far, I think both of those have already been checked... but I'm really not feeling like going back and reading them all to make sure of it. If they haven't yet, those would be where I'd start looking. *shrug*

In the startup script, this is what I have for the restart section (at the very bottom of the script):
if ( -e shutdown.txt ) then
rm -f shutdown.txt
exit 0
endif
sleep 15

as for what else you need to check on for do_reboot and the other functions involved in a reboot, well.. there's quite a bit spread among a bunch of files that could stand to be checked.

If you're going to use nohup, it goes in the command line, not a file, instead of starting the mud up by "cd src" then "./startup" (or "./startup &", you'd still "cd src" then do "nohup ./startup &"

Ok, the way I am booting the mud, is I am going into the folder, and clicking on the "Smaug.exe" file. So, I have absolutely no idea what all that is Conner lol.

If you double-click smaug.exe you are running a program. When it ends, it ends.

Zeno has already said "You should be running the startup script using nohup, as mentioned here earlier.".

That script has a loop in it, it starts smaug.exe, and when it stops (eg. on a shutdown), it loops around and starts it again. You need to use that.

Had a feeling that might eb the case, so you're not running nohup or the startup script because you're in windows and not even using cygwin, no wonder it's shutting down instead of restarting. ;)

If you instead double click on the file startup (might be startup.bat?) it should solve the problem for you.
