Dedicated server - Console

[windsurf]

I have a small questions.

When running dedicated server, do You need to have the console open?
Is is possible to run the dedicated server without?

My problem is that I would like to have the oppertunity to start and stop the server with a remote program, forexample Putty ( Linux).

thnx in advance!

My problem is that I would like to have the oppertunity to start and stop the server with a remote program, forexample Putty ( Linux).

You can run it in the background by typing

Code: Select all

openttd &

in a terminal but then it'll be killed when the terminal terminates.

If you want it to keep running even after you disconnect use 'nohup'. E.g start OTTD by typing

Code: Select all

nohup openttd &

The best solution of all would be to run OTTD using GNU screen. That way you'll be able to take control of the server again when you log back in. Try using the command

Code: Select all

screen -d -m openttd

Hope that helps.
