Infinite loop or code that is taking longer than 3 minutes to finish. CircleMUD is setup to automatically shutdown when it's inactive for 3 minutes. Now, we can't tell you where it's happening, because it can simply be happening anywhere in the code. So, what you could do is startup the MUD, logon and figure out how it's getting locked up. Then while the MUD is locked up, kill it with the SIGV signal (done with 'kill -s 11 <pid>' on my computer). This will cause a core dump, so you can see what the MUD was doing while locked up with a debugger (gdb). -- Daniel Koepke dkoepke@california.com Forgive me father, for I am sin. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
