Linux VPS
 

Ahoy there!

I'm hosting a ' bot ' for a certain game on a VPS that is running linux.

Now I open the SSH to run the 'bot' and after say 10 minutes the bot just closes and the SSH is unusable?

Have you tried 'screen' ?

- ssh to host
- run 'screen'
- launch bot
- detach from screen
- log out

You'll have to excuse my ignorance, how would I go about the above?

Sorry.

Bump. So someone can clarify the above.

Try the screen man page, basically it lets you disconnect and everything keeps running.

Supposing your bot is mybot, run this:

$ nohup mybot

Then disconnect (I mean, logoff). The mybot program should keep running unattended.
