If I understand it correctly, you have moparscape server machine to which you are connected via SSH protocol using putty client. And you want remotely shut this machine down. To do so, issue
Code:
halt
. Note: you need to be root to run this command.

If you are connected to that server, just type halt and press enter.

Putty should provide you with terminal uppon connection.

Well, maybe I didnt understand what you want. I thought you want to swith the server (= moparscape machine) off. But by your confusion I see that is not the case. So can you be more specific what exactlu you want to turn off?

Hi,

Just type
Code:
exit
when logged in with Putty and close Putty. The server will still be running and you'll be able to connect whenever you want.

Kind regards,

Eric

Then I dont understand the problem. Server should be running regardless, whether you are connected via putty or not. What happens, when you log off of the server?

Or do you want to run some task on the server and keep it running even when logging off?

Well, my error. I though that moparscape is some Linux distro, unknown to me. Shame on me.

Use
Code:
nohup
to run it. Full recomended command is
Code:
nohup your_program > file.out 2> err.out < /dev/null &
so that way you can be sure that you do not lose all outputs and nothing will disturbe your server.

Your question is somewhat vague but I assume you are starting the server via Putty and because you close the session moparscape quits running too. You can use nohup to keep an application from closing i.e.

nohup moparscape & (replace moparscape with the exact command used to start the server)

Don't be ashamed, I was mislead by the OP's unclear description too.

Good call!

Kind regards,

The problem is, that you want to run
Code:
sh sh.sh
but nohup treats the second parametr as input parameter of nohup. So in your case it only starts
Code:
sh
Make that sh.sh executable by running
Code:
chmod +x sh.sh
and you can run it by
Code:
nohup sh.sh &
