coolmud - start a coolmud server coolmud [ -n -p ] infile outfile [ port ] A new coolmud server is started using _infile_ as the input database. The first part of the database must consist of the list of servers, and first among those servers must be this server. The startup sequence reads this information to determine which port to use for inter-server communication. The optional _port_ argument on the command line specifies the player port, the default being 7777. _outfile_ is the file to which the database will be dumped. Normally, signal handling in coolmud servers defaults to catching all signals, and writing out the database. The name of the file in this case will be _outfile_.PANIC. If the server has been compiled with the -DCOREFILE option, a core file will also be generated. -n No-tokens mode. This flag forces the database to be written out (dumped) using integers for the byte codes instead of ASCII tokens (the default). If any changes are made to the COOL compiler source itself, integer byte codes may become inaccurate. ASCII tokens are safe, integer tokens are fast. -p Promiscuous mode. Allow connections from any old server, no matter how old and lecherous. Normally the server only allows connections from servers listed in the bootup dbase. This option allows any server to connect.
