i am admining a CS server and i connect using SSH. I start the server using ssh's pseudo terminal, and i want to know how to exit ssh without killing my CS server that is running...how do i do that?

anyone know how to kill ssh on my local machine without killing the process on the remote machine? it has to be an easy command, i just cant find it :confused:

Just do

nohup hlds <big list of arguments here> &

and then you can quit without it quitting on you.

That is, assuming that "hlds" is still the command for the HL Dedicated Server these days. :) If not, substitute your command in for "hlds"

Ummm... Not sure what you are talking about, but when I connect to my remote shell account at panix.com, I open up a terminal locally, type 'ssh -l <panixusername> shell.panix.com', which establishes a connection to the ssh server at panix.com, which in turn queries me for a password. I log in, and when I'm done, I just type 'exit', just as if I was closing out a local session. It closes the remote session, and drops me back to my local shell. Pretty much the same way telnet does.

HTH,

Now that I look at your question again, I think I see what you are babbling about. Try using screen. I use it to a) have more that one thing running in the foreground on my panix shell account, i.e. mutt, slrn, vim, etc. each in its own 'window'. When I am done, I issue '^a d', which detaches the screen session, and drops me back to the panix prompt. Then I logout like I described earlier.

HTH,

And afaik there's no way of doing this indefinitely because eventually it would time out and disconnect your session.

You need to get and install screen, then you type this

screen

start your hl server

then type ctrl-a-d to detach the screen

whenever you log back in using that account you can type

screen -r

and enter commands to the server.
