Screen and &
#1
I am just wondering whats the difference between running the game server using screen to run it in the background or using the "&" sign after the command so it runs in the background?

Does anyone know what the difference there is between them? Since I know how to work screen I am able to see the text console but can you see the text console when you run it with the "&" command?

Does screen make it more effecient?

Thanks in advance for your ideas and thoughts

& backgrounds it, and wont allow re-attachment (not more then 1 time at least) screen allows you to see console. perhaps & will use less cpu but im not sure. i just like screen Smile (dubble post for those who can find the other 1 ;P )
To be (an admin), or not to be (an admin), that is the Question.

Yeah sorry about that and how do you stop something that is running in the background? do you have to do killall ?

kill by PID, or by proces name Smile
