Hi gang, I have a quick question... It seems that when my mud starts because of a host reboot (ie: power failure or the like) the server refuses to dump a core. When I've logged in and started the autorun script by hand, there is no problem. However, when I follow the instructions in the FAQ, the mud crashes and no core. The script I use to start the MUD's is as follows: #!bin/bash #~/bin/mudstart cd /home/xual/mud_stuff/the_mud/ ./the_mud_autorun& cd ../builders_mud/ ./builders_mud_autorun& The entry in /etc/rc.d/rc.local looks like: echo "Starting up the MUDs" su xual -c /home/xual/bin/mudstart ulimit -a tells me: [xual@danathara xual]$ ulimit -a core file size (blocks) 1000000 data seg size (kbytes) unlimited file size (blocks) unlimited max memory size (kbytes) unlimited stack size (kbytes) 8192 cpu time (seconds) unlimited max user processes 256 pipe size (512 bytes) 8 open files 1024 virtual memory (kbytes) 2105343 This is running Red Hat 6.0, a recent upgrade from 5.2. The same problems occured under 5.2, where ulimit showed core size was also unlimited. Any ideas? "Misery is boundless" -Xual the Torturer, on the Eve of the Sundering.
