Subject: system time confusing the moo?

The machine I run my moo on was taken down yesterday for
a few hours, then rebooted... and today, I've had a slew
of very nasty problems with the MOO... things like
connected_seconds() breaking (says invalid argument),
and when I logged in just recently it said I had never
logged on before (not true, of course).  And now I'm
looking at a mail-recipient that I had sent mail to earlier
today, the earlier messages said 'April 2' for the date,
and my latest message now reads correct, 'April 1'.  

My guess is, when the machine was rebooted they probably
forgot to reset the system clock(?) and did it just recently,
and now the MOO is entirely confused at the time change? 

*shrug*  Strangeness. :)  Just wondering if anyone else
had seen this happen.
 
Ah well.  Back to more bug-fixing. :)

Yes, this has happened to me on occasion too. And, yes, it caused just as much
Havoc to me as it did you. The only thing I can suggest is that you try to get
together some kind of knowledge as to what needs to be reset everytime so
you can try to put together something to do it for you. The biggest problem I
had was with player's logins and mail. Didn't notice anything else..
