More mac problems (Server shuts down randomly)

Argitoth · #1 March 1st, 2008, 11:42 PM

so i need to use the mac terminal? how the heck does that even work? Do you realize I hate Macs and therefor have NO experience with a mac whatsoever and everything about a mac pisses me off? Oh well. I got it working. No need to learn how to work the terminal.

The Terminal is your God on the Mac OS. Learn to use it, or die!

ok, maybe I'll give it a shot.

WHAT THE HECK! This morning, I come back, the Mac is in sleep mode. I set the COMPUTER to never sleep, I set the SCREEN to sleep in 10 minutes. First of all, the computer's screen NEVER turns off when I'm running Dominions. That is what leads me to believe that the COMPUTER DID GO TO SLEEP MODE even after I set it not to. I come back... guess what? Both dominion servers are closed. Not just one, NOW IT'S BOTH! Does running dominions only work if you use text mode with the terminal? THIS MAC IS PSSING THE (curse word here) OUT OF ME!!!

Ok, I got to the terminal, I got to the dominions directory and got stuck from there. Any help? What is the command to run the dominions.app?

dom314 is a symbolic link to my executable, you should use whatever command name it has on your system.

great... now how do I know the link to my executable?

If you don't have multiple installations of different versions of dominions on your system, you don't need a link like my dom314.

I'm sorry, but I don't know much about Macs. I think your executable is called dom3_ppc, but it could be dom3_x86 if you got an Intel CPU. You can also try just dom3, maybe try these commands until one works:

dom3 --help

./dom3 --help

dom3_ppc --help

./dom3_ppc --help

dom3_x86 --help

./dom3_x86 --help

OK! I got it. (I just went directly to where the dominions3 is located and did ./Dominions3) I'm running text mode and I went to the Energy Saver preferences and unchecked "turn off hard drive when possible." That was probably the thing that killed the servers.

WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW? The server shut off AGAIN! Here's what the commandline looks like after I tried to get it started again:

No it is not. This spins down the motors of the hard drives when there hasn't been any read/write accesses to them for a longer time.
