Re: [misterhouse-users] Startup Problems

[Steve S. <st...@sw...>]

William,
   I ran into the same problem once, and found that it was caused by me =
clicking on the "VCR" link in the TV listings. This causes trigger code =
to be created, referencing a variable ($VCR) that didn't exist in any =
code files, since I never included the files to control my VCR. The =
files that references that variable is code/bruce/tv.pl. This might not =
be the only one, but Bruce can comment on that. :)
To delete the trigger, look in your data directory and user code =
directory for anything that says "trigger" in the file name. Delete =
these files, and MH should start again.
There's probably a better way to do this, but this is what *I* did... =
YMMV...
