server logging out problem

[m!ni]

Hi any help would be great pls.
We are new to BF2 and have our own BF2 clan server, normaly we play UT2K4 but were in need of a change. Anyway the server ran amazingly and we were all happy with its performance.:rock:

But the guy that installed it on our box is having a problem.

"ok, am having a problem with it... I can't seem to keep it running after I've logged out. The suggested commands in the linux instructions aren't working ".

So how do we log out without shutting down the server ?

there are 2 ways:
1,
screen
cd yourbf2dir
./start.sh
it will start up... and you must press ctrl+a, ctrl+d
you will see [detached]
now you can logout
if you want to call back type:
screen -r

2,
cd yourbf2dir
./start.sh &
now it will run as daemon
to stop it:
killall -9 bf2



I prefer the first one

The screen method works alot better.


I CD to the bf2 dir, and type


screen sh ./start.sh

Watch the server start up, after you see 100% hit "CTL-A then CTL-D" the screen session will return you to the command line and it will say "detached" to return to the screen, just type "screen -r" and use the CTL-A CTL-D to get back to the commandline.
