PanicDB being ignored

OK, had a server crash and lost lots of stuff.

When I restarted the server, I got this message:

Running from /pennmush/game
Building text file indexes.
make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
Restarting Mush.
.gz found.tdb
.gz found.db
No database found. Mush will start with a minimal world.
Seeded RNG with getentropy()
/pennmush/game$ Attempt to write to error log before it was started!
CONFIG: directive 'active_queue_chunk' in cnf file ignored.
Redirecting stdout and stderr to log/netmush.log

The "No database found" message was rubbish, cos in the netmush log it says it found Indb and ran the MUSH from that.

But, despite the fact that the restart script says that it'll look for a valid PanicDB first (one that ends with ***END OF DUMP***), it doesn't do that and goes straight to Indb.

Any ideas!

(I'm well aware that this forum has been quiet for years . . but MUSHes have been around for too long to just fade away).

Please post a link to download the source code you are using so that we can see what the code thinks it's trying to do.

Fixed it, thanks!

I tried a restart script from an older verison of PMush (I'm running the latest version) and it started seeing and using Panicdb after server outs.

Thank you for your prompt response tho - I may be back :)
