I tried redirecting stdin to /dev/null still wouldn't run in the background.
But I've been using FreeBSD and halfd for so long I forgot about screen. I
gave that a try and it's working fine.
Now if I could just find a workaround for my PB issue.
Thanks,
Jeremy

I noticed this as well. Just as is the case with hlds_run, hltv reads
console commands in from stdin. So that means you have to either
redirect
standard input from /dev/null, use screen, leave it in the foreground or
something else.
