NAME
     emp_server - Empire server

SYNOPSIS
     emp_server [-dFhpsv] [-e configfile] [-E action] [-R seed]

DESCRIPTION
     emp_server  is  a	daemon which listens to the Empire port for players con-
     necting to the game.  For more information on the game of Empire,	see  the
     info pages within the game.

OPTIONS
     -d     Debug  mode.   This will prevent the server from forking itself into
	    the background.  Implies -E abort.	You normally want  to  use  this
	    flag if you are running emp_server from within a debugger.

     -e configfile
	    Use game configuration in configfile.

     -E action
	    What to do on recoverable internal error ("oops"): abort, crash-dump
	    (but  continue),  nothing (default).  crash-dump works by aborting a
	    fork of the server process.

     -F     Force emp_server to start even when game  state  looks  bad.   Risks
	    crashes  and further corruption; use this only for attempting to fix
	    up problems.  Better make a backup first, and lock out players.

     -h     Help.  Print brief usage information and exit.

     -p     Threading debug mode.  Implies -d.

     -s     Enable thread stack checking.

     -R  seed
	    Set the seed for random function.

     -v     Print version information and exit.

OPERANDS
     Operands are ignored for backward compatibility.  Their use is deprecated.

SIGNALS
     SIGHUP
	    Request emp_server to reopen log files and reload its configuration.
	    This allows proper log rotation.  Only the update  schedule  is  re-
	    loaded at this time.

     SIGINT, SIGTERM
	    Request emp_server to shut down immediately.
