not so newbish help please

hey crew. thanks for this site, it really helps sifting through garbage at steampowered.

ok here's the thing, i followed the tutorial here and everything is working perfectly. except, dun dun dunnnn, the running it in the background part. i'd really like to be able to logout of my linux terminal and let my server be happy without me having that window open. otherwise what's the point of hosting it remotely?

so i've made that last part of it. creating the server.sh, making it excutable, etc.. but trying to run it is proving to, well just not work.

any ideas? it's been chmodded to 777, i've run it with ./server.sh , and nothing. nada. zilch. it's been awhile since i've jumped into linux, but i'm not a complete luddite when it comes to it. so can anyone help me out?

much love, thanks in advance.

You do not get an error messages or anything? Did it create the new screen? Did you try attached in the screen after you did the ./server.sh command (if it made the screen)?

yay that worked!.. i think. it gave me an invalid sleep integer. which i set to 1 (one). i'm thinking maybe that as an l (ell) hehe

little help? can't manage to get past that error message.

# sh ./server.sh
'leep: invalid time interval `1
Try `sleep --help' for more information.

tried that. nothin.

does just sleep 1 work? i tried it on my server, and it works for me.
edit: to be honest though, it doesn't need a sleep, or an echo.
a script like that would be mostly for checking to make sure a server goes up and stays up.
so yeah, just remove the sleep 1, its just a pause..
