No it is bad thing because you loose control over server (you loose control terminal). IMHO screen is the best choice. Look at the manual (man screen) and you'll be suprised what it can do. You may create "bin" directory in homedir of target user. Add it to his $PATH. Put (for example) script called startserver.sh to "bin" -------->8-------- #!/bin/bash cd <hldsdir> screen -dmS hlds -- ./hlds_run -game <...> -------->8--------- Then you can invoke server by typing: su - <user> -c startserver.sh -- mariuszZIELIŃSKI _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
