| Whenever i try to startup the mud using ./startup &
I recieve this error... im clueless when it comes to the startup part of SMAUG, any suggestions guys?
dreamer@dreams.slayn.net [~/SMAUG/src]# ./startup: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `set'
'/startup: line 4: `if ( "$1" != "" ) set port="$1"
my startup is the following:
#! /bin/csh -f
# Set the port number.
set port = 6767
if ( "$1" != "" ) set port="$1"
# Change to area directory.
cd ../area
# Set limits.
limit coredumpsize unlimited
limit stacksize unlimited
if ( -e shutdown.txt ) rm -f shutdown.txt
while ( 1 )
# If you want to have logs in a different directory,
# change the 'set logfile' line to reflect the directory name.
set index = 1000
while ( 1 )
set logfile = ../log/$index.log
if ( ! -e $logfile ) break
@ index++
end
# Record starting time
date > $logfile
date > ../area/boot.txt
# Run SMAUG.
# Check if already running
set matches = `netstat -an | grep ":$port " | grep -c LISTEN`
if ( $matches >= 1 ) then
# Already running
echo Port $port is already in use.
exit 0
endif
../src/smaug $port >&! $logfile
# Restart, giving old connections a chance to die.
if ( -e shutdown.txt ) then
rm -f shutdown.txt
exit 0
endif
sleep 5
end
Thanks guys |

| You might not have tcsh installed. I'm assuming you are running under Linux from the prompt hostname; if you have a Debian-based system, you should do "apt-get install tcsh". From a Fedora system, it'd be something like "yum install tcsh".
I suspect that you have the basic csh installed and it doesn't like the syntax in line 4. |

| I thought slayn.net was a mud host.. seems unlikely they'd not have tcsh installed. :(
On the other hand, I can't see, off-hand, anything else likely to be the culprit on this one either. :( |

| Oh, I didn't realize that... If it really is a shared MUD host administered by somebody else, there is something of a problem here. :-)
You could try adding spaces around the equal sign to match the other examples in the startup script. |

| I tried the putting spaces around the equal signs with no success, hmmm.
If on the first line there isn't a space before "#! /bin/csh -f", i had a different error message. Could this be effecting it?
The different error message that i had before was:
'reamer@dreams.slayn.net [~/SMAUG/src]# Unknown option: `-
Usage: csh [ -bcdefilmnqstvVxX ] [ argument ... ].
Thanks for the help. |

| | Strange, I've seen many Smaug MUDs run on Slayn. Try emailing the admin, make sure it's installed. |

| You don't want to touch the first line; it's fine as it is. If anything csh should be changed to tcsh, but no more spaces are necessary.
Try typing csh --version or csh -v or something like that to get the version of csh that's running. If it says csh and not tcsh that is probably the problem. |

| OK, troubleshoot mode then. :-)
Which distribution is this startup script from? Did you change anything whatsoever? Is the startup script exactly the same as the one in the distribution archive? Have you tried other distributions? |
