I did a search for "deadlinks" and "results-mywiki.txt" and did not find
those files. There is a "logs" subdirectory in the core_stable directory,
but there is only one file in there, a text file called "commands." Should
this deadlinks subdirectory exist now, or will it not be created until I
run the bot a week later?
