| That is because they run smaug from a shell script that loops, re-executing it each time.
You need to do something similar to achieve the same result. |

| There is a shell script in the "src" directory. I found this worked:
tcsh startup
This was using Cygwin. After the mud reboots it waits 15 seconds and starts it up again. |

| I haven't written DOS batch files for a while - that was supposed to be a guide. I had the label the wrong way around, it is:
:a
not
a:
I have amended my earlier post to reflect that. Try that.

| You have two problems, one is how to make the loop wait, and the other to detect a shutdown.
The server writes out a file "shutdown.txt" if you do a shutdown, which you need to detect in the batch file.
Also, I couldn't find a program that would wait (although no doubt there are dozens) so I wrote a quick one. You can download the wait.exe program and source for it from here:
ftp://ftp.gammon.com.au/utils/wait.zip
Put the wait.exe file in the same directory as smaug.exe and then change your batch file to look like this:
if EXIST area/shutdown.txt DEL shutdown.txt
:loop
smaug.exe
if EXIST area/shutdown.txt goto end
wait 15
goto loop
:end
DEL area/shutdown.txt

| A little depends on where you have your batch file, in relation fo the "shutdown.txt" file.
You'll need to check that the location of the shutdown.txt file is where the batch file expects it to be. It might be best to put in the full pathname.
ie. Do a shutdown, work out what directory the shutdown.txt file is in, and put that exact path into the batch file.
eg. if "shutdown.txt" is in c:\smaug\area\shutdown.txt
then make the batch file read:
if EXIST c:\smaug\area\shutdown.txt goto end

| Okay. I have tried this and it seemed to work once I fiddled with the batch file and changed the '/' into '\' and did the correct paths since mine wants to put the logs in the src file.
It worked just fine once or twice but then seemed to not be making a shutdown.txt file anymore.
This is my batch file.
if EXIST c:\smaug\dist\src\shutdown.txt DEL shutdown.txt
:loop
smaug.exe
wait 15
if EXIST c:\smaug\dist\src\shutdown.txt goto end
goto loop
:end
DEL c:\smaug\dist\src\shutdown.txt
I have the batch file and wait in my area folder with my smaug.exe and my shutdown.txt was going into src file before but now there just isn't one at all. And the batch file restarts the mud so it isn't finding a shutdown.txt at all.
Thanks for any help,
