Hello,

I want to host a Americas Army at my dedicated server and i want to run it at the background. I want to use the command Screen so i can make a start and stop file with the commandline in it. But thats not working. I have tried to add >/dev/null& but thats not working to. Can anyone please help me with it?

Thank you,

Kind regards,

If I recall there is a character you should put at the end of your command:

( using bash )

[user@localhost]# "your command" &

the "&" is the symbol of "background"

this means that you can use your command line without waiting for the process to finish.
