Those instructions were for the smaug.exe that is available for download here. If you compile under Cygwin, and then execute a batch file, you are probably using the "Unix" version of SMAUG, not the one with the WIN32 enhancements such as services.

I apologize if I made myself unclear. When I type anything with sembia, ex:

sembia /?

sembia /install

sembia /start

(I use sembia because my smaug.bat is renamed to sembia.bat) the mud boots up, even if its already booted in another window or not.

Try using gdb to work out why it is crashing.

It worked for me. I tried it under XP Home, which should be much the same. This is what I saw ...


C:\smaug>smaug /?
SMAUG 1.4a
Usage is :-
 SMAUG           - runs as a service, or stand-alone
 SMAUG /run      - runs stand-alone
 SMAUG /start    - starts this service
 SMAUG /stop     - stops this service
 SMAUG /install  - installs this service
 SMAUG /remove   - removes (un-installs) this service
 SMAUG /status   - displays the status of this service
 SMAUG /help     - displays this information

C:\smaug>smaug /install
SMAUG 1.4a
Service successfully installed

C:\smaug>smaug /start
SMAUG 1.4a
Start request sent to service

C:\smaug>smaug /status
SMAUG 1.4a
The service is running.

C:\smaug>exit


After doing that the window closed and I was able to connect to the character from MUSHclient. In other words, it was running as a service.

Ok I am feeling stupid. I am running under XP Pro. When I do whats said in services.txt, all that happens is the mud gets booted. No services get installed or anything. Is there a different method?

Well, you can minimize it. :)

If that isn't good enough, under many versions of Windows (eg. NT, XP, 2000) you can make it a "service" which runs in the background where you don't see it. See the services.txt help file that came with my download.

Is there any way to hide an MS-DOS window, so that it doesnt show anywhere on the screen, but still have it running?
