Ubuntu Server version

[Dub]

Ok so i have the server up n runnin. umm but the server takes up the entire screen. i mean the console. how can i cycle through application in teh server edition. and also. when i type "quit" in console. it just restarts the server but not quit.

try "screen" it opens up another console that you can detach or minimize in other words.
Also i use ctrl + c to close out of game servers

ok so i type in screen before i start the server or will it work during at server console?

[helio]

you might need to install screen with

Code:

apt-get install screen

Make a file called server.sh and put this in:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting Cs:Source Server"
sleep 1
screen -A -m -d -S css-server ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 16 -autoupdate

Save the file, and chmod it to run

Code:

chmod +x server.sh

If you want to start your server, simply run server.sh with

Code:

./server.sh

It will start your srcd server in the background, to open it type:

Code:

screen -x css-server

If you want to close it again press ctrl+a+d, and it will detach the screen and keep it running in the background.
