Moving _mail to /cmds/std, and fixing the reference in commands.h
should be enough. The only thing I can think of is that some
mail daemon is using a hardcoded reference or you tried without
updating all the daemons and rehashing the /cmds dirs.

Did the problem go away after a reboot ?

Yep, that is because you can also do:

finger leto blue

which will finger both leto and blue on this mud (Perverse I know :) :)

Maybe we could add a fix that if you use a @ symbol, it assumes one
user at a remote mud is requested?

The driver docs are available on ftp.imaginary.com in

About the crasher. We really need more information that 'it crashed'.
Did you compile the driver with debug enabled? did you get a

sorry about the vaguness.

leto compiled it for me (snicker). what happens, is that i just get
a Connection closed by forgein host
Then startmud starts it up again. in /log/crashes there isn't ever
any trace of the crash. 

another thing, it doesn't save player data. i think when the
driver yells the crash stuff, it saves (not sure... i'm no expert)

anyways, thats what happens. if you need more info, i'll be glad
to share the traumas

This sounds frightening familiar. Which driver/lib version are you running?

We are currently stuck on a Solaris PC, and I the machine is plagued with
a knack for crashing. When I compiled a driver with debug on, I noticed that
it was crashing mostly for the reason that the stack returned F_RETURN,
which apparently the driver does NOT like. Anyway, it might be driver
related for you as well. My problem is that the machine sucks. ;-)

Well, I wanted to release 1.3 since a long time ;)
If you want to help, check out /logs/BUGS and /logs/TODO :)

You can also grab pre-releases of this lib at the various places.

Yep, look at the event daemon in /adm/dameons and the event command in
/cmds/adm/_event.c 
(Or just 'help event' :)

You can add events like unix 'cron-jobs' to schedule events.

for example, type 'event list daily' to see hour current daily events.

Kick Drizzt a few times, and then you'll find out like me
yesterday that drizzt is having users() as target for his 
emotes instead of using the proper CHANNEL_D call.
It's in /adm/daemons/network/I3/channel.c but I havne't had time
to fix it yet.

I tried it here, but it worked fine. Maybe you messed up channels
yourself ?
