I don't know a lot of things, actually :P In that case you'll probably not want to run it with nohup. Without nohup the bot _might_ die when the mud shuts down (crashes, reboots, etc). With nohup, it definately won't unless you provide it some other means of determining when to die off (does it die when it looses the connection to the MUD?). You'll need to take that into consideration because you ceartainly won't want to leave the bot running after the MUD dies off. > j/k, it's a small tintin bot that connects to the MUD.

Now I'll accept comments about the bot:P I was interested because I was wondering about the the \r's you were getting (^M is another way of expressing \r, they both refer to a carriage-return character). It would appear that the output you're getting comes directly off the MUD which does send the DOS/Windows style \r\n at the end of a line instead of the Unix style \n. This is to conform with the TELNET standard. What's strange about it is that TINTIN should be translating that back to the Unix standard \n before sending it to the screen, oh well *shrugs*.
