You need to use screen.

[Daggo]

Agreed. Screen is what I use. You can try this script to start up mangosd and realmd in the background.

note* rename mangos-world to mangosd and mangos-realmd to realmd.

Other than this code, you can try to use the 'nohup' command:

nohup ./mangos-world &

nohup ./mangos-realmd &

version=0.1.9

MANGOSDIR=/opt/mangos/

case "$1" in

"")

echo "${0##*/} version ${version}, Author: Weedy"

echo "Usage: ${0##*/} <options>" # No command-line parameters,

echo "" # or first parameter empty.

echo "Normal Options:"

echo " start stop restart"

exit $E_PARAM

;;

"start")

cd $MANGOSDIR

screen -dmS realmd ./bin/realmd

screen -dmS mangosd ./bin/mangosd

monitorMangosdPid=`ps ax | awk '($6 ~ /monitor-mangosd/) { print $1 }'`

if test "$monitorMangosdPid" = ""

then

screen -dmS monitor-mangosd ./src/mangosd/monitor-mangosd

fi

sleep 3

realmdPid=`ps ax | awk '($5 ~ /realmd/) { print $1 }'`

mangosdPid=`ps ax | awk '($5 ~ /mangosd/) { print $1 }'`

if test "$realmdPid" = ""

then

echo "Realmd failed to start"

fi

if test "$mangosdPid" = ""

then

echo "Mangosd failed to start"

fi

echo "Mangos is now online"

;;

"stop")

realmdPid=`ps ax | awk '($5 ~ /realmd/) { print $1 }'`

mangosdPid=`ps ax | awk '($5 ~ /mangosd/) { print $1 }'`

runMangosdPid=`ps ax | awk '($6 ~ /run-mangosd/) { print $1 }'`

if test "$realmdPid" != ""

then

kill $realmdPid

wait $realmdPid >/dev/null 2>&1

Can somebody tell me the commands to start server using screen or give me the guide ???

i didn't use screen before this.

I have centos server os ( not desktop!) if this can help.

Thanks !

heres a small howto

[Patman128]

You type "screen" and press enter. Then, you start realmd. Then hit Control-A-D and repeat again for worldd.

[spokss]

if you use bash shell, there is a disown command, works on already started tasks to.

edit: for starting tasks, better is ^^ nohup command, but if task already started, then Ctrl+Z, bg, disown.
