I use su to run screen to run my servers under a different user, and I nice the process. It works well, but when I do this I am unable to reattach to the console. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could get around this problem?
These are the relevant lines from my startup script: server_command="screen -A -m -d -S $game ./$game"_run" -tos -game $mod +map `cat ./$mod/starting_map` +maxplayers $server_size -heapsize $heap_size +ip 192.168.0.101 -pidfile $game.pid -debug$extra_config_options" nice -n -20 su -c "$server_command" cc-server It may look a bit complicated, but I think the variable names make it pretty clear what is going on.
