problem solved thanks to (fqdn)

[Mr.Andy]

How about this as my screen session? screen -x server.sh

[Mr.Andy]

will the below work?

Quote:screen -x server.sh

[fqdn]

that will work if you have a screen session named server.sh, if you don't then obviously it won't work just like the css-server one.

when you did "screen --help" there was an option to "list the SockDir", run screen with that option and nothing else, what is the output?

[Mr.Andy]

ok i did this:

Code:

screen -x SockDir

Code:

[root@******* srcds_l]# screen -x SockDir
There is no screen to be attached matching SockDir.

what is wrong or do i just type sockdir?

[Mr.Andy]

OMG your properly loughing at me right now thinking how much of a retard i am!

ok i did this

Quote:screen -x -list

and it said:

Quote:[root@******* srcds_l]# screen -x -list
No Sockets found in /tmp/screens/S-root.

[/code]

[fqdn]

do "screen --help" it will output all the stuff
READ ALL OF IT, one of the lines is an option that will "list the SockDir" which one is it?

[Mr.Andy]

Its this i think:

screen -x -list


but it said:

[root@******* srcds_l]# screen -x -list
No Sockets found in /tmp/screens/S-root.

[Mr.Andy]

yes i can understand that. but how can i make it? please.

or do i need to send the server.sh file there in that directory?

[fqdn]

if nothing is listed, then that means you don't have a screen session of any kind, if you don't have one then how can you attach to it right?

you better read this:
http://www.rackaid.com/resources/tips/linux-screen.cfm

after you read the link, you'll be able to open a screen session, detach and re-attach, you don't need my help anymore for this.

[Mr.Andy]

I managed to follow the link you sent me and it works thanks for you patience and time.

If you need any help never estate to ask me, I don’t know much about servers or computers but what I do know about most is music.

Andy: I'm pretty sure that means you haven't started your srcds server at all, or the screen you started it as is not named css-server.

I highly recommend that you at least read up on the basics of using the linux command line if you want to consider using linux for your server in the future. Many commands you will use, such as screen, lend there functionality from other more basic linux commands.  I suggest you read this short tutorial here: http://linuxcommand.org/  It will help you get started it out with the basics of how to move around your system and run files etc.

As for screen, it has been a while since I have used it.  screen -x reattachs a current running screen session.  

To start you server you should use the 'screen -S name' command, replacing name with a relevant session name, like css-source_server.  (The -S switch may vary depending on your operating system).

Press CRT + A + D once you start your server to close the screen session.  To re-attach the session type screen -r  or, if you have mutiple screens, screen -r name

That's the best I can do for you now.  You should learn as you go along, it may be frustrating but it is worth it in the end.
