Bf2 Linux help.

[K-L]

Ok first of all i have the files all extracted ok, and in folders. What i need help with is a start script, i know u start the server by typing ./start.sh but soon as you close the SSH box the server goes offline. is there a start script out that can run the server and keep it running also listing a process to kill when needed.

Another thing im having problems with is opening ports on my box. im running redhat 9 and when typing iptables -V i get the version v1.2.8.

I found a helpme pdf here: http://www.bf2cc.com/downloads/Battl...guide_v101.pdf

In the firewall section is ses type the following.

#! /bin/bash

$MyIP = 192.168.2.100 <-- now does this mean my ip or the server ip, it fails to say exactly what it means.

Thanks in advance for anyhelp you can give me.

you need to use Screen or the "&" to keep the server running after your ssh session is closed.

Something like this:


from your bf2 dir with the start.sh in it.

screen sh ./start.sh

The server will start up, once you see 100% then hit "CTL-A, CTL-D" you will return to the command prompt and see the word [DETACHED]. this means you have an application running in "screen" to return to it simply type at the command prompt "screen -r" then use the CTL-A CTL-D to detach b-4 you logout...


Once detached it's safe to close your ssh session and play on the server.


you could also: "sh ./start.sh &" this will put the server in daemon mode..I like screen alot better.

Good luck!
