I just ran across this in the ChangeLog:
-- gg - comm.c: init_game(): Save the MUD time on shutdown.
db.c: reset_time(): Load beginning time from lib/etc/time.
db.h: TIME_FILE: "lib/etc/time"
utils.c: mud_time_to_secs(): New.
...and part of the diff for comm.c is this:
@@ -359,6 +361,14 @@ void init_game(ush_int port)
CLOSE_SOCKET(mother_desc);
fclose(player_fl);
+
+ log("Saving current MUD time.");
+ if ((bgtime = fopen(TIME_FILE, "w")) == NULL)
+ log("SYSERR: Can't write to '%s' time file.", TIME_FILE);
+ else {
+ fprintf(bgtime, "%ld\n", mud_time_to_secs(&time_info));
+ fclose(bgtime);
+ }
if (circle_reboot) {
log("Rebooting.");
I got to thinking (not a good thing, I know ;) ), why not throw that part
in a function (say something like save_mud_time) and then call it from
both init_game() and heartbeat() so that the mud_time file will get
updated regularily in case of a crash? Note that separating this into a
function will also make it easier to update for things like copyover.
Regards, Peter
