Hi
I'm a noob and just set up a Mordor Mud on a free hosting service. I'd like to stop it to make changes etc, but I can't find anywhere what command I use.
I have other databases I'm testing, and so I need to be able to stop the service and try others, till I find one I'm comfortable with.

Also, are ther any tutorials on using the Mordor editor?

Cheers


Basil

Doesn't the command 'shutdown' bring the MUD down? (I don't know either; I just downloaded the source archive and grepped the help files for "shutdown".)

When i try Shutdown, it says i need to be root.
I understand that - I don't have that privilege on a shared server.
I tried halt or something similar, and auto-suspended when I tried to log into the root account.
Just wondered if anyone had any ideas?

Also, are there many tutorials on using the Mordor editor available?

Cheers

Wait… are you trying to shut down your MUD or the whole server? If you want to shut down the MUD, you need to be logged in to the MUD first.

No idea, sorry.

Could you please paste the output of the following:
telnet into your MUD
log on as your admin character
type "shutdown"

I suppose as a last resort, you could always log into the shell and type PS -a then when you see your mordor mud on the list, type kill -9 <pid of the mud>.

That might be an indication that Mordor isn't one that will work best for you…
