Run in screen or not?

[tejeskifly]

Hi!

I have a dilemma.

In srcds linux install gudie, i read, i can run srcds in screen.

Its better than a background process. Why better, if i run srcds in screen?

Some advantages:
- Can write a screenlog which ist more detailed then serverlogs (Parameter "-L")
- you can attach the screen at the console and directly work on it. After that just detach again.

Sending it to background with "&" and or nohup does not have those advantages.

This pretty much describes it.
