To start servers etc what do you use?

[terry94]

How do you start and stop and watch servers? Like external console

To start my servers i use putty on each server and i do like cd server1
cd orangebox
then my startupline..
Is there any programs that you could gather all the servers and have a start stop button for them? with the info about startup line saved?

Hope you understand what i mean

there are web panels that can do this job. or you can use "screen" (a virtual terminal which can be reconnected to) to start the servers. you could write some very simple script to launch the server inside a screen, which could be then your "button" :-)

A decent one for free? -> No

bashscripts that make your life easier -> yes

C++ applications which responds to PHP sockets when I click start, yes that's awesome.
