Ahoy dear users,

Anyone trying to access the server for the past couple of hours was probably disappointed.

You may have noticed that the server has been prone to random crashes and lockouts as of recent. Today, I traced that cause to a number of dead processes that had somehow spawned when I was initially configuring GlitchNet. They created untraceable sub-processes which locked a number of my common ports into PID-less CLOSE_WAIT states and ran the process ID slots dry in the GlitchNet /proc directory. This caused a number of service failures and slow reboot times. After about two hours of googling, I reluctantly ran pkill -9 sbbs, which fetched the PID of all Synchronet processes under the name sbbs hiding on my system and sent a potentially machine breaking SIGKILL to them. If you ever used linux, you've probably had to deal with SIGINT, like when you accidently try to copy something with CTRL-C and then the program stops. SIGINT stands for Signal Interrupt, and politely tells the program to quit yammering asap. SIGKILL is more or less reserved for manual use with pkill and kill. You can guess what it does[It breaks into the /proc folders FBI style and slices apart all offending routines with a katana]. Regardless to say, everything seems to be working slightly better than it was, let me know if issues persist.

Sorry for the rant, greenturtle537
