Thanks for all the help on locking. Now, next question. How do I start
a program automaticlly when the MOO starts? I want to make a trolley that
just goes back and forth the whole time. 3rd question: Is it possible
to run outside programs (in a shell) from the MOO?

Thanks

Tim

Just make it run normally; when the server checkpoints or shuts down, the
current task queue is saved, too, so those forked or suspended tasks that
existed when the DB dump was made will still exist when the server restarts.

No, not as shipped.
