Default Re: problem with Dom3Minions server

I have GOOD news and I have BAD news...

BAD: the server crashed this morning

GOOD: I was sitting next to it at the time and noticed

BAD: seems to have been an overheating problem

GOOD: my son and I dismantled it, cleaned it out, and turned it back on. The problem may be temporarily at least fixed.

BAD: it did not reboot automatically the way its supposed to

GOOD: I was able to research the problem and put in a fix so that the next time it will reboot itself. It also automatically sends a text message to my cell phone now.

BAD: the games all shut down

GOOD: the MUD restarted automatically using a @reboot cron. And I finally got to test a "restore all Dom3 games" script which seems to have worked well. I might give it a @reboot cron also

If the overheating CPU problem is indeed gone (I will watch it over the weekend) I might restore some lost functions such as daily generations of maps in various unique types. And possibly add some more game types. As always, PLEASE let me know here or by private message here if you have any problems.
Or suggestions.
Or questions.
