Do I have to run putty?

[ffcfoo]

I ordered a VPS server so I can run my Dedicated Server on it but when I log into putty and start my server do I have to leave putty on for my server to always to be on? Also my VPS Server is Ubuntu 10

Start it in screen then you can leave it to do its own thing.

You'll need to install "screen" on your server if it's not already on there and base your startline on what's in that post.

Or use a simple set of scripts to reduce ssh keyboard mashing:

In your home directory create a .sh file, call it startup you want, and have

PHP Code:

cd
cd /path_to_srcds/
./server.sh 


In your SRCDS folder make a .sh file called server.sh and put:

PHP Code:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting Cs:Source Server"
sleep 1
screen -A -m -d -S 1 ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike ...... 


chmod +x both files, then next time you log into ssh, to start it just do ./startup.sh and you will get a one line notification[/i] [i]echo "Starting Cs:Source Server" to inform you it has started, then feel free to close putty.
