Regarding core dumps and text file busy messages when trying to compile
while the mud is running, try this, it's what I did:
Change all refrences to circle in your Makefile to circle.new (so instead oc
compiling circle the file it compiles is called circle.new)
Then add this to the beginning of your autorun file (right after the
while(1) line:
if(-r bin/circle.new) then
rm bin/circle
mv bin/circle.new bin/circle
endif
That way, when the mud reboots, if circle.new exists, it will move it over
to circle and run the new version... that way you can compile without any
annoying errors, and everything handles itself.
Another nifty tip by Hades :P
