[ut2004] nohup or screen for Linux ut2004 server?

[Steve Pirk]

I use:

screen -S ut2004 [startup commands]

The -S gives the screen a name So you can reattach
to different screens.

user at host:~$ screen -ls
There is a screen on:
        10327.irc       (Detached)
1 Socket in /home/user/.screen.

You detach from the screen session by hitting
CTRL A then d
screen -r
or
screen -r 10327.irc

will reattach you to the screen.
