odd error
 
i've got an odd error in my messages log. this is from a user running a script to check if his mud is looping or if it's dead and restarts it. well everytime it checks and is just fine it tosses this error:

Jan 14 13:36:14 yggdrasil in.identd[18531]: reply to 127.0.0.1: 34336 , 8000 : ERROR: UNKNOWN-ERROR

i'd like this to go away as that's rather spamtastic. this is on a slack 10.2.

script source:
Code:

# This is a pretty simple script that checks to see if a mud is running #
# properly.  Be sure to change the 'important vars' section.  The best  #
# idea is to run this script from cron every couple of minutes... That  #
# way you can be sure that it stays running.                            #
