i am running a background server and was wondering how or where to put:
 Quote:- nohup ./soldatserver
- screen -s -m -S soldat /usr/local/soldat/soldatserver

in order to run the dedicated in the the background. i am running it on a windows box.

create a shortcut to the soldatserver.exe file.
Right-click the shortcut and go to properties.
Change where it says Target: ".../soldatserver.exe" to ".../soldatserver.exe -nohup"
Then just double click the shortcut you just made and soldat server should be running as a process/

thank you jrqp, that really helps man

Dont reply if you dont know what your talking about jrgp...

the 'nohup' and 'screen' commands are for Linux, for windows you have to use a programm called TrayIT!

You can also try
c:> start "" /b soldatserver.exe

On a windows machine, that will start the server in a new process, but the /b makes it not open a new window for the process.

Unfortunately, "start" is only usable from an existing command prompt. All the /B switch does is force it to use the EXISTING window, instead of opening a new one. So you still end up with a window open.
