[cod] Console Interaction

[Chad Rose]

Does screen use much resources when run to fork something to the background?
I have been using some scripting to restart the server once it crashed.. and
just using :


#!/bin/sh
runserver()
{
cd /path/to/CallofDuty/directory/
while true
do
./cod_lnxded +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 28960 +exec mp_server.cfg
+map_rotate
done
}
runserver 2>&1 >/dev/null &

Of course without reattaching I wouldn't be able to remote manage the server
via console.  But does anyone see any unreasonable amount of resources used
when using screen?  Because I do notice a difference between using screen
and a script.
