Title: Bot Interface Question
Post by jdb on Dec 22^nd, 2008, 4:44pm

Does anyone know what this means?
I rebooted my computer and tried to start the botman script and got this.

Code:

jeff@quad:~/arimaa_bots/Bot$ botman start
checking to see if another botman process is already running
logged into the gameroom as bot_clueless sid=8709920093
starting bots for our current games; they will exit if needed.
starting bot to open a new game; side=w
sh: Syntax error: Bad fd number

I redownloaded the bot scripts.

The bot script works. The botman script does not.

Any ideas?

I wonder if it could be related to the file not found (http://arimaa.com/arimaa/forum/cgi/YaBB.cgi?board=devTalk;action=display;num=1228157936) error Bildstein was getting?

In the bot.cfg file, I had this set to 3 and it did not work.
When I changed it back to 1 it started working.

Code:

$C{maxBots} = 1;

Seem like line 1031 is causing the problem:

Code:

system("$C{bot} b >& $C{runDir}/bot.out &");

In the shell try this command and see if you get the same error:

Code:

bot b >& running/bot.out &

I did not get an error using that command.

I'll just stick with maxbots as 1.
