It will run the game, and copy some # of the more useful information from the system logs to the 'log' directory # for safe keeping. # # You can control the operation of this script by creating and deleting files # in Circle's root directory, either manually or by using the 'shutdown' # command from within the MUD. # # Creating a file called .fastboot makes the script wait only 5 seconds # between reboot attempts instead of the usual 60. If you want a quick # reboot, use the "shutdown reboot" command from within the MUD. # # Creating a file called .killscript makes the script terminate (i.e., stop # rebooting the MUD). If you want to shut down the MUD and make it stay # shut down, use the "shutdown die" command from within the MUD. # # Finally, if a file called pause exists, the script will not reboot the MUD # again until pause is removed. This is useful if you want to turn the MUD # off for a couple of minutes and then bring it back up without killing the # script. Type "shutdown pause" from within the MUD to activate this feature. # # The port on which to run the MUD PORT=4000 # Default flags to pass to the MUD server (see admin.txt for a description # of all flags).
