I would say, that we need some linux rc script, to run the server with rc command. Or maybe some1 know anotherway???

Plz help!

Do you not just run it in the background?

etded.x86 +set fs_game etpro +set exec server.cfg &

The & on the end telling Linux to run it in the background.

(I'm a Linux noob too so probably wrong).

hi check http://www.fragland.org/modules.php?nam ... link&cid=3. We have a number of links there for server admins. One of them points to Linux & the command line you need.

I'm not a linux guru either but it appears that the script they use launches the ET server in a separate "screen" or session I guess (any gurus around to confirm this?)

EDIT: just checked our own scripts created by our linux man and it uses this "screen" command too.

Thanks for the help !!

We fixed it

True... with 'screen', you can disconnect from your shell but leave the programs and shell running in the background.
When you login again (from any location) and type 'screen -r' the shell gets restored.

This is pretty handy for gameserver as you can see the console logging scrolling by. (check possible error msgs...)
