Exit Codes
When Sphere closes, an 'exit code' will normally be shown in the console to describe why it is being shut down. In general, an exit code less than 0 is considered to be an error code, and values above 0 are normal shutdown codes. In most cases, a more descriptive error will be shown in the console and/or log file to help better diagnose the reason behind error codes.
The following table lists all of the current codes and their meanings.
| Code | Description |
| -10 | Unexpected error occurred |
| -9 | Failed to bind server port |
| -8 | Failed to load world save(s) |
| -3 | Failed to load server settings (script, ini, mul files) Or did not write AGREE=1 in the sphere.ini |
| -1 | Shutdown via commandline (/?, /T and /Q switches) |
| 1 | X in console or SIGHUP signal, terminal closed (Linux Only) |
| 2 | SHUTDOWN command |
| 4 | Service shutdown (Windows Only) |
| 5 | Console window closed (Windows Only) |
| 6 | SIGABRT signal, process aborted (Linux Only) |
Garbage Collection
The purpose of garbage collection is to validate all of the server objects and free up unused UIDs. Garbage collection is initiated:
- After the world save is loaded at startup.
- Before a world save begins, if the FORCEGARBAGECOLLECT setting is enabled in Sphere.ini.
- After the IMPORT or RESTORE functions have been used on the server object.
- When the 'G' command is entered via the Sphere console
- When the GARBAGE function is used on the server object.
When garbage collection encounters a problem with an object it may attempt to automatically correct the error, otherwise the object will be removed. When an object is removed by garbage collection there will normally be an error shown in the console describing the item that was removed along with the reason. The following table lists all of the garbage collection codes along with their description:
