I am having problems wil my startup script,
copyover runs fine, reboot does not, and when the mud crash's it does not restart its self, these are the script and errors I have gotten.

(startup)

#!/bin/csh
# Written by Furey.
# With additions from Tony and Alander.

# Set the port number.
set port = 4000
if ( "$1" != "" ) set port="$1"

# Change to area directory.
cd ../area

# Set limits.
nohup
#nice
if ( -e shutdown.txt ) rm -f shutdown.txt

while ( 1 )
# If you want to have logs in a different directory,
# change the 'set logfile' line to reflect the directory name.
set index = 1000
while ( 1 )
set logfile = ../log/$index.log
if ( ! -e $logfile ) break
@ index++
end

# Run rom.
../src/rom $port >&! $logfile

if [ -e core ]; then
gdb -batch ../src/rom core | mail spicer4us -AT- qwest.net
fi

# Restart, giving old connections a chance to die.
if ( -e shutdown.txt ) then
rm -f shutdown.txt
exit 0
endif
sleep 15
end

I know the startup has nothing to do with the other bugs other then the bugs have been making the mud crash, I need to mostly know why its not restarting. the extras would be helpfull sence they are new to me.

Well about your startup program, why not have the startup run as a background process by using ./startup &, it should start automatically, otherwise search for something called mudcheck.pl.

About the crashing, though not showing a definite pattern, my best guess is to check your function loading the character.
