Every once in a while, about every week or so, my mud will crash for seemingly no apparent reason, and it won't try to restart automatically.
There is nothing written to the logs, and there isn't a core dump. Its almost as if the process just dies. I know the process isn't being killed by my system admin (because of too much CPU or whatnot), because if that happens, I'd get an automated email. Is there any way to detail my logging system more specifically to try to check for more errors? I don't know what could be causing the crash. I've heard you can log system errors, does anyone have any experience with that? I've been logged on the mud most of the times when it has crashed due to this, and there doesn't seem to be any specific reason or action that causes it. Since it only happens about once a week or so, I'm not so concerned about it being a major bug, but more concerned that it will crash some time when I'm away for a few days, and will stay down. I've seen on Darkoth's website a perl startup script for startup ( http://darkoth.kyndig.com/Code/mudcheck.pl ). Basically its a Perl script that checks every 10 minutes or so to see if your mud is up and running, and if it isn't, it starts it. I'm considering using that for now. Does anyone have anything like that, or have any suggestions or comments about possible problems with it?
