Here is a description of the various deity tools: DuckScripts.tar.Z contains 35 perl, awk, and csh scripts which parse the output of various empire report commands (power, plane, prod, etc.) and generate summaries of the data. EvilDeityScripts.tar.Z contains the shell scripts "saveass" and "watchdog". "saveass" saves a copy of the empire data files just before an update so that you can restore from backups if something goes wrong. "watchdog" checks to see if either emp_tm or emp_login has crashed, and if they have, restarts them. A sample crontab is included. emptools.tar.Z contains the source for GNUmake version 3.56 (probably quite an old version) and mkmf ("make makefile"), two unix utilities used to compile the server. fairland.1.6.2.tar.Z is a land generator program (now a part of chainsaw.3.31.tar.Z I believe), which creates a world with a specified number of continents of a specified size with equal resources. RiverworldTools.tar.Z contains a number of scripts for running a game. It includes modifications of Dave Nye's "watchdog" and "saveass" scripts, as well as scripts for auto-resetting a blitz, a script for checking login irregularities, and a cool program which draws colour maps of the game as it progresses and converts them into a mpeg movie. transferkit.tar.Z is a program for transfering a game from one machine to another. xland-chain3.0.tar.Z replaces xland-2.0.tar.Z. It is an X-windows program used by deities to "draw" land for an empire game using a mouse. -- # Ken Stevens : 129 Lippincott St. : # stevens@math.toronto.edu : Toronto, Canada M5S 2P3 : 1 416 968 9470
