More mac problems (Server shuts down randomly)

[Argitoth]

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?

[vfb]

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:

Code:

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.

My Mac is CLOSING down the server after it says "Broken pipe." The problem you are linking to is one where the client has trouble connecting.

sooo... I don't understand how that has to do with my problem UNLESS "Broken pipe" could mean all sorts of things.

[lch]

Broken pipe means that the (persistent) connection has been aborted. Going into sleep mode would cause this, yes.
