Problem using SCREEN command. Im a NooB.

Per Counter-strike linux server instructions at http://www.srcds.com/db/engine.php?s...43920&archive=

I start my server with the following script:

Code:



#!/bin/sh

echo "Starting Cs:Source Server"

sleep 1

screen -A -m -d -S css-server ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 16 -autoupdate

When I try to attach to the screen with this command:

Code:

screen -x css-server

I get the following error message:

Code:

There is no screen to be attached matching css-server.

Im new to screen and dont know what to do. I used the screen -help but am not sure where to go from here.

Thanks for the help. :)

Well, you've started the session detached (the "-d" option), but the "-x" tries to attach "to a not detached screen session" (from the man page).

I suggest you try:

screen -r css-server

The "-r" option reconnects to a disconnected session.
