Plz Help Serious problem when starting cstrike

[Kwinz]

Hi,
I tried to start the cstrike server just like I always do with:

Code:

./srcds_run -game cstrike  -autoupdate +map de_dust -maxplayers 20 -tickrate 100 &

but it ony displayes:

Code:

cs@gera046:~/srcds> ./srcds_run -game cstrike +map de_dust -maxplayers 20 -tickrate 100 &
[1] 4052
cs@gera046:~/srcds>

nothing is starting, i get no error messages and nothing.

What can I do?

try removing the & from the end, it makes my server crash when launching sometimes

most likely it is starting. you wont see anything because you have the "&" which sends srcds to run in the background. If you want to see whats going on, use screen, as shown in the tutorials section.

mo that was not the problem,
the server prompts measseges even if i add the &.

The problem was that some binaries in the srcds had a
file size of 0 bytes. Dont ask me what the reaseon for
this was, may a software bug, or an hardware error.
Didn't do anything there. I downloaded cstrike again and
replaced the corupt files. Now its working fine again.

Strange things happening
