To verify a pretty severe Havok bug I urgently need a script to detect a sim crash or reboot. I know I've seen it done sometime with some timing functions, but can't get it right yet..

anyone with a code suggestion?

I wrote one that only works in my sims that are always set to midnight (don't have the script on-hand but can drop on you in-world). Kyrah Abattoir wrote a more complicated one that works on sims on a normal day/night cycle:

I was going ot drop two different ones on your from my inventory (including the Kyrah Abbatoir one), but it will have to wait til profiles are re-enabled.

Simple enough... set a timer for 30-60 seconds, and update an integer value with the current llGetUnixTime(), after first checking it to see when it was last updated. If the time was greater than a certain threshold, say 60-120 seconds, then it likely crashed, or is lagging something fierce.

Second way to tell: occasionally check the llGetSimulatorHostname() value. If it changes, most likely it is because the sim crashed, and your sim moved to another server.
