I just began using Linux, so I don't know a whole lot about it yet. With Windows, I created a .bat file and put that on my desktop to use to start my server. Is there a way to do something like this with Linux?

in linux it's called an .sh file, so startserver.sh would be the file name then you do prompt>>./startserver.sh to run it. and yes screen is the way to go else when you log out of your session the server stops.

Sorry for bumping an old topic, but Im back using Linux again (Ubuntu) and have some more questions. Can someone explain to me how to install screen or give a how-to install it. I tried googling it but only got resolution problems/fixes which is not what i want. I also have some general linux questions, so if someone can help me with those, let me know and I will PM or email you with the questions.
thanks,
