hello i'm running my moparscape server now on putty with gives me SSH connection and i'm wondering if there is a way that i could turn off my pc but the server would stil be running i can use logout command that doesnt work
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
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?
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?
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)
