Well I rewrote the directory for dbs2.0/area. That eliminated a few things but I still get this and then it does nothing and I can no longer type in cyg.

$ ./startup
limit: Command not found.
ulimit: Command not found.
mv: cannot stat '../log/syslog.8': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat '../log/syslog.7': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat '../log/syslog.6': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat '../log/syslog.5': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat 'backup/dbsbackup.current.tar.gz': No such file or directory
tar: backup/exclude.list: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I have officially logged onto the mud with MUSH. Everything seems to be working well. Will it run succesfully and "smoothly" even with the log errors?

You should be starting the MUD up like:
./startup &

Or:
nohup ./startup &


Yes, it'll run fine with those errors. It just couldn't rotate logs or backup the MUD.

Alright I probably won't see a response since this is such an old topic but I started off having the same problems as a different poster and it ended up leading me to this post. I've done what was needed to be done and I changed the makefile to have the changes that Gammon suggested. When I type make again I get "Makefile:74: *** missing separator. Stop."

Just wondering what I did to make it do that? I am a very newbie coder so I apologize in advance.

One possible thing is that you typed in some spaces at the start of the line. Rather confusingly, the make program distinguishes between leading spaces and a tab.

Make sure you have a tab as the first character. Use an editor (eg. Crimson Editor) that lets you see tabs.

If that doesn't to it post the file and indicate which is line 74.
