Prop maintenence
*Cycle through your props regularly
This reduces the amount of props lost after a prop purge or prop flush.        
Include rooms with all scripts utilizing props; for e.g: drink ordering        
scripts, setprop scripts  	*Regular prop flushing
An overly large prop file gets you in trouble with your server and can also get
        corrupted thereby making you crash. Don't jus prop purge, make sure you
prop flush as         well. Keep an eye on the size of your pserver.prp file.
You will find it in the                   ...palacepsdata directory
Check the log regularly
You may choose to delete old logs. If you are on a private server, you      
may have to regularly switch logs otherwise your log file will become very big.
Commercial       servers do this for you automatically on a daily or weekly
basis. But this soon starts       taking up space in your precious server so you
are best deleting old logs periodically.
The Importance of Being Paranoid
Make sure you back up your *.pat file regularly. The more intensely you      
work on your palace, the more backups you should make. The *.pat file is the
nucleus and       engine of your palace. Lose it and lose all your hard work!
Other important files to backup are the pserver.prp and the       Pserver.prefs
file.
