There used to be a sim set up by the lindens, for the express purpose of testing scripts that seemed to be causing crashes of the entire server....
well I just crashed 2 sims by accident with a rather harmless script that I physically retyped (ok cut and pasted) for each trial.... the first time I thought it was just a fluke...
it is NOT designed to do this... the scariest thing it does is sort a list... a VERY SMALL LIST.
nevertheless, once initiated boom goes the sim.
no I won't give you a copy =P
I thought the test sims name was "Crash Me" but it doesn't turn up in the search, so maybe I got it wrong. anyone know?

Doe the sim come back up after you use this script or is linden intervention required to get the sim running again?

It auto restarts, or at least it did for the first (c5 private sim, part of a large group a friend owns)

Crash Me was removed from the grid on 15th October. Sorry, I don't know of a replacement

Well, given that it's pretty much all it takes for Linden Labs to crash a sim, I'm not surprised it's in two lines of script. [jk]Ahern[/jk] might be a good one to do next time

Does it make me a bad person...
11-03-2008 05:26
I seriously considered both of those sims =X
on the bright side, untill they fix it, I now have a way for my friend to take her sim down if she still wants to hold her epic star wars battle, ended by a shot from the death star....
I think I'll watch from the adjacent sim, script in some safeties, and huge particle effects... should be fun. hey I reported it, but I'm not a saint.

*chortles* Apparently you aren't the only bad person, if we are suggesting it too! And honestly, I think with Ahern, you'd be doing LL a favor clearing it out from time to time  Find the coding Linden's office hours and drop in with it. Explain to him/her what is going on and if they ask for proof... well.. you warned them!

I have someone that will be bugging the lindens during the next office hours, so all is well, as for proof... could always run it during the office hours for demo =X ok THAT was bad =)
the good news? it's a limited vunrability, only works under certain conditions, and is not something you would logically do...
the bad news? expect yet another viewer update =/

Just curious. When a sim crashes does it bring down the entire server, and other sims on the same server with it? Curious because my mainland sim crashed yesterday and there was very little going on there when it happened. No, I'm not suggesting that Void did it.

I hope they can fix it on the server side or existing exploits will still work. sigh.

Dan said "Crash Me" would be back up in a few weeks. Unsure as to why it is down.

lol @ Vex well LL has gotten involved with many thanks to several people that pushed on this (like vex), so I can hope to expect a fix soon.
@ArchTX:
depending on the crash, and how they have their servers configured it's quite possible, however this particular bug actually seemed to cause a halt rather than a crash, as the sim pops back after a few minutes... possibly after stopping the offending script. odds are this wouldn't take out a whole server... thankfully. otherwise I have the onus of having taken out 12 different regions, 4 of them repeatedly... not something I'd be happy about (especially after choosing empty/volunteer sims after the first crash)
