Using the top command

[Dan Hilliker]

I was setting up a Linux box and subscribed to this email list last night.
After browsing quite a few emails/forums to date, I have a few questions for
someone that is hopefully Linux smarter than me.

First off...when I use the ./bf1942_lnxded command to run the server all
seems fine, but how do I detach it from my console to keep the server
ruinning? I thought it was CTRL + A + D to detach and CTRL + C to kill the
server when it is in my console running.  I can't seem to get the server
detached. But I think that CTRL + C kills it or has it...notice my below
pasted info from using the "top" command...the last 5 PID's are the one I
have no idea what they are...could they be ghost of my thought to be killed
BF1942 server running from when I was testing the server?  Should I kill
these or is there a way to find out exactly what they are and their purpose?
Thanks for the help in advance.
