Hi,

when my mudd is set for reboot (6am) it does do the reboot but never comes back up. I have Smaug 1.4 and Smaugwiz and cant find out why its not coming back up. I know nothing about coding, is there an easy fix to this?

LOL. Uh... Which version of SmaugWiz do you have? I have version 2.02 or something.

On Unix systems, this works by using a startup script that pauses while the executable runs, and unpauses when the program stops and then loads up another MUD process in an infinite loop, until a special shutdown file is found that identifies that the user really does want it to stop.

On Windows, I believe this is done using a service, that looks at whether SMAUG is running and if not, starts it.

Depending on your system, you'll need to make sure that one of these two is happening. SmaugWiz is Windows-based I believe, so you'll probably need to make sure that the service is starting. What operating system do you have?

Chances are this is not code related... sounds more like the startup method is broken.

See:

I wrote a small program and batch file to test if the MUD was up, and if not, start it (for Windows).
