how do you keep processes from closing?
 

How do you log out of a terminal without closing open processes under that user. I am trying to run a Half-Life server and it keeps shutting down every time I close telnet. Is there anyway to keep the processes active or somehow close telnet without killing the Half-Life server

Thanks,
Marley

Tried putting an & at the end of the command?

well, at least it loaded in the background. it still closes with telnet. Is there a way to access one of the normal terminals tty1 - tty6 through telnet, so i wont have to leave telnet open?

If the server's installed on the remote box, and you're connecting to that box (telnet is insecure...) then cant you use some /server-script start command to make the system start it? I dunno really.

"nohup <cmd args>"
