[ut2004] nohup or screen for Linux ut2004 server?

[Josh]

nohup ignores the HUP signal so the process doesn't die effectivly 
making it a daemon. screen runs the process inside a sort of virtual 
terminal so you can disconnect  it from a terminal and reconnect it to 
another terminal instead of dieing when the shell exits.. Also very 
useful for irc clients.
