Use "screen".

On the Cyberspace Matrix, I use this (this works in the system boot
scripts, or at the regular command line):

screen -d -m su mohaa -c "/usr/local/MOHAA/mohaa_csm_2/mohaa_lnxded
+set fs_userdir /home/mohaa/.mohaa2 +set fs_outputdir /home/mohaa/.mohaa2
+exec server.cfg"

Do that all on one line. Modify as necessary, wrap in a restarting script,
etc...

Then:

screen -r

And you'll be looking at your server output...you can then type commands,
etc. When you are done staring, hit CTRL-A followed by 'd' to detach the
screen. Log off...server will keep running.

Next time you log in, do "screen -r" again to reattach.

When you are done, quit the server and everything should clean up.

As in, "make sure the server continues to run?"

Just wrap the thing in a shell script that restarts it if/when it dies. Am
I misunderstanding you?
