I download this mud from http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=file... Its the FFT code after I had download to my pc and than upload and tgz and unzipped to my shell. There seem to be a problem it want boot up and I dont know why this what I get when I read it.

#!/bin/csh

set binpath = /home/damien/FFTacticsMUD/bin
set port = 1987

cd $binpath

if ( -e shutdown.txt ) rm -f shutdown.txt

while(1)
    set index = 1000
    while(1)
	set logfile = ../log/$index.log
	if( ! -e $logfile ) break
	@ index++
    end

    ./FFTacticsMUD_exe $port >&! $logfile

    if ( -e shutdown.txt ) then
	rm -f shutdown.txt
	exit 0
    endif
    sleep 5
end

I have all ready moved file into bin I don't know what line 1 and 6 mean. Than I go to my makefile which I guess my friend told me the compile was. I got to SRC than go to makefile I get this

CC      = c++
PROF    = -g# -O
C_FLAGS = -Wall $(PROF)
L_FLAGS = -I/usr/include/mysql -L/usr/lib/mysql $(PROF)
LIBS	= -lm -lmysqlclient -lz -lpthread

FILES = admin.o area.o battle.o ch.o commands.o desc.o group.o ignore.o jobs.o main.o map.o misc.o move.o obj.o room.o shop.o skills.o socials.o startup.o status.o string.o update.o weather.o

all: FFTacticsMUD_exe

FFTacticsMUD_exe: $(FILES)
	rm -f FFTacticsMUD_exe
	$(CC) $(L_FLAGS) -o FFTacticsMUD_exe $(FILES) $(LIBS)

.cpp.o: main.h
	$(CC) -c $(C_FLAGS) $<

clean:
	rm -f $(FILES) FFTacticsMUD_exe

I don't know if that help or not.

What does it say when you boot it up? Surely it doesn't scream the startup script at you

This is a shell script. Line 1 tells your shell what script interpreter to use to execute it (in this case, /bin/csh). Line 6 changes your current directory to the contents of $binpath, which is set on line 3.

You'll have to provide some kind of error output, since we can't guess what it isn't doing right from just looking at it. Well, I can guess that you didn't change $binpath to point to wherever YOU have things installed, but that is only a guess.

This doesn't look like a good public release…

So just scrap this code?
