It's me again,

I couldn't reach JaysHouseMOO or MediaMOO today using telnet.  LambdaMOO and
OpalMOO were fine though.  What gives, did both sites get nuked at the same
time?  Perhaps Arch's could post something here when their site's having
problems, just to let the rest of us know.

Me (again).

ps.  CardiffMOO's getting nuked pretty regularly nowadays, hardware errors I
think, that and having to compete with neural network simulation programs.
Crontab brings it back every hour, but I'm not happy.  Hopefully the neural
bloke will finish wasting my CPU time soon, and everything'll be rosy again.

Hi Andrew!

It's fairly easy to make a Perl script that starts your MOO everytime it
receives a SIGCHLD. That way, whenever your MOO stops it will be restarted.
As for restarting if the machine goes down, you could talk your system
administrator into including a startup of your watchdog process in the
system initialization process.
